It thus comes about that in practice it is regularly the theoretical collectivist who extols individual reason and demands that all forces of society be made subject to the direction of a single mastermind, while it is the individualist who recognizes the limitations of the powers of individual reason and consequently advocates freedom as a means for the fullest development of the powers of the interindividual process.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The United States Constitution has proven itself the most marvelously elastic compilation of rules of government ever written ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54544]]></link><description><![CDATA[The United States Constitution has proven itself the most marvelously elastic compilation of rules of government ever written]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A son is a son till he takes him a wife, a daughter is a daughter all of her life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11109]]></link><description><![CDATA[A son is a son till he takes him a wife, a daughter is a daughter all of her life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, c.326 If we with earnest effort could succeed To make our life one long, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, c.326 If we with earnest effort could succeed To make our life one long, connected prayer, As lives of some, perhaps, have been and are; If, never leaving Thee, we have no need Our wandering spirits back again to lead Into Thy presence, but continued there Like angels standing on the highest stair Of the Sapphire Throne: this were to pray indeed!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The builders have no right to construct any building without the approval of the layout plans by the authorities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28538]]></link><description><![CDATA[The builders have no right to construct any building without the approval of the layout plans by the authorities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tighter you squeeze, the less you have.

The best leaders of all, the people know not they exist. They turn to each other and say We did it ourselves.   The mind that does not understand is the Buddha. There is no other. •Ma-Tsu   You cannot describe it or draw it. You cannot praise it enough or perceive it. No place can be found in which to put the Original Face; it will not disappear even when the universe is destroyed. •Mumon  Learning Zen is a phenomenon of gold and dung. Before you understand it, it's like gold; after you understand it, it's like dung. •Zen Saying  No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself. •Tilopa   When you pass through, no one can pin you down, no one can call you back. •Ying-An   There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things. •Yuan-Wu  The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there. •Robert M. Pirsig  Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it's dark. •Zen Proverb  Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is definitely true that having a common foe does give you something to shoot at.

That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18093]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brazen helm of daffodillies, With a glitter toward the light.  Purple violets for the mouth,   Breathing perfumes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16247]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brazen helm of daffodillies, With a glitter toward the light.  Purple violets for the mouth,   Breathing perfumes west and south;    And a sword of flashing lilies,     Holden ready for the fight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are encouraging people to come down and support the downtown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34458]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are encouraging people to come down and support the downtown.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's elimination time and we were kind of tight.
