When we ascribe the success of a movement to its faith, doctrine, propaganda, leadership, ruthlessness and so on, we are but referring to instruments of unification and to means used to inculcate a readiness for self-sacrifice. It is perhaps impossible to understand the nature of a mass movement unless it is recognized that their chief preoccupation is to foster, perfect and perpetuate a facility for united action and self-sacrifice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boredom: the desire for desires ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boredom: the desire for desires]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we do know the sweet Roman hand. -Twelfth Night.

When they had taken as many beasts as their necessities required, the Lion undertook to distribute the prey, and for this purpose divided it into three shares. I will take the first share, he said, because I am King: and the second share, as a partner with you in the chase: and the third share (believe me) will be a source of great evil to you, unless you willingly resign it to me, and set off as fast as you can. Might makes right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When neither their property nor their honor is touched, the majority of men live content. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19728]]></link><description><![CDATA[When neither their property nor their honor is touched, the majority of men live content.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever we condemn, we cloak the world in pain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22691]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever we condemn, we cloak the world in pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What happens to a dream deferred?

The unity we seek is deeper than anything that the world offers. Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, and even Shintoism have proved their ability to bind men together in a common enterprise with great devotion and selfsacrifice; but these are secular ideals, intermixed with selfinterest, the love of master, and the use of force. Christian Unity can only be "in Christ". It is based on the New Birth and New Life in Christ, and upon the oneness of all the members in the Christ who is the Head. Therefore, "the quest for the unity of the Church must in fact be identical with the quest for Jesus Christ as the concrete Head and Lord of the Church." (Barth) What kind of unity, then, do we ask? It must be God's kind, that for which Christ prayed, and which, therefore, must be in the line of God's purpose. Will He not then take the initiative? It is for us to wait upon Him, and to go through the gates which He opens, to cast up the highway, to gather out the stones of stumbling, to lift up the standard, and to prepare the way of the Lord. (Isa. 62:10).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's about a cluster of Hispanics in south Austin and a cluster on the border and a bunch of empty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38489]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's about a cluster of Hispanics in south Austin and a cluster on the border and a bunch of empty districts joining them all together.
