I mean, how many leftists are animated by a quite reasonable self-loathing? In their hearts they know that they are not going to become scholars or inventors or industrialists or even ordinary good kind people. So they need a way to achieve that smugness for which the left is so justifiably famous. They need a way to achieve self-esteem without merit. Well, there is politics. In an egalitarian world everything will be controlled by politics, and politics requires no merit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let 's go hand in hand, not one before another. -The Comedy of Errors.

In our eyes, the job is not yet done; and such an action would be, though we would not put it so, an interference. But suppose our hope rests in the purpose of God: then we safely leave the timing of the earthly experiment to Him. Meanwhile, we do what we were told to do -- to be alert and to work and pray for the spread of His Kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the mouse laughs at the cat, there's a hole nearby. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4473]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the mouse laughs at the cat, there's a hole nearby.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A family on the throne is an interesting idea.
