Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If things look badly to-day they may look better tomorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50265]]></link><description><![CDATA[If things look badly to-day they may look better tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's the good of a home if you are never in it? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19626]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's the good of a home if you are never in it?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a friend askes, there is no to morrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50062]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a friend askes, there is no to morrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accessories are important and becoming more and more important every day, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accessories are important and becoming more and more important every day,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A small town is a place where there's no place to go where you shouldn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63808]]></link><description><![CDATA[A small town is a place where there's no place to go where you shouldn't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By all that's good and glorious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48526]]></link><description><![CDATA[By all that's good and glorious.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66068]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just then return'd at shut of evening flowers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just then return'd at shut of evening flowers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That Raven on yon left-hand oak (Curse on his ill-betiding croak)  Bodes me no good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52979]]></link><description><![CDATA[That Raven on yon left-hand oak (Curse on his ill-betiding croak)  Bodes me no good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25603]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The problem is why Bush at this time made this kind of statement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40302]]></link><description><![CDATA[The problem is why Bush at this time made this kind of statement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sovereignty is not given, it is taken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sovereignty is not given, it is taken.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage enlarges, cowardice diminishes resources.

The results would probably expose a surprising conclusion.
