There is no other means to safeguard a propitious development of human affairs than to make the masses of inferior people adopt the ideas of the elite. This has to be achieved by convincing them. It cannot be accomplished by a despotic regime that instead of enlightening the masses beats them into submission. In the long run the ideas of the majority, however detrimental they may be, will carry on. The future of mankind depends on the ability of the elite to influence public opinion in the right direction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abuse is the weapon of the vulgar ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abuse is the weapon of the vulgar]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30714]]></link><description><![CDATA[The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prayer is the movement of trust, of gratitude, of adoration, or of sorrow, that places us before God, seeing both ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7519]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prayer is the movement of trust, of gratitude, of adoration, or of sorrow, that places us before God, seeing both Him and ourselves in the light of His infinite truth, and moves us to ask Him for the mercy, the spiritual strength, the material help, that we all need. The man whose prayer is so pure that he never asks God for anything does not know who God is, and does not know who he is himself: for he does not know his own need of God. All true prayer somehow confesses our absolute dependence on the Lord of life and death. It is, therefore, a deep and vital contact with Him whom we know not only as Lord but as Father. It is when we pray truly that we really are. Our being is brought to a high perfection by this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things but cannot receive great ones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61361]]></link><description><![CDATA[A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things but cannot receive great ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will definitely look at it through our office of seafood and determine whether there is something that requires further ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32903]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will definitely look at it through our office of seafood and determine whether there is something that requires further pursuit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver…and since he is so busy, you'd probably ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20078]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver…and since he is so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him real quick and give it to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It says a lot for the boys.

Our environment itself -- our home and our job -- is the medium through which we experience His moulding action and His besetting love. It is not Christian to try to get out of our frame, or to separate our outward life from our life of prayer, since both are the creation of one Charity. The third-rate little town in the hills, with its limited social contacts and monotonous manual work, reproves us when we begin to fuss about our opportunities and our score. And this quality of quietness, ordinariness, simplicity, with which the saving action of God enters history, endures from the beginning to the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48212]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abstinence is as easy to me, as temperance would be difficult. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abstinence is as easy to me, as temperance would be difficult.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/188</guid></item></channel></rss>
