Being in the minority, he has no other choice. Failing this duty, he sinks into oblivion. Society, on the other hand, has no obligation toward the poet. A majority by definition, society thinks of itself as having other options than reading verses, no matter how well written. Its failure to do so results in its sinking to that level of locution at which society falls easy prey to a demagogue or a tyrant. This is society's own equivalent of oblivion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think anyone that played left some strokes out on the course. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30424]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think anyone that played left some strokes out on the course.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What seems to be generosity is often no more than disguised ambition, which overlooks a small interest in order to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12533]]></link><description><![CDATA[What seems to be generosity is often no more than disguised ambition, which overlooks a small interest in order to secure a great one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value.

It is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. It is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. Ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. Science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us make an honourable retreat. -As You Like It.

It does not always ask words, but it always wants work. The motives and not the means are the things on which it passes judgment. And the man who shows by his life that he is not ashamed of the Gospel will assuredly one day find that the Gospel is not ashamed of him. There is much more which might be said, but I refrain. Ere I close, you will let me add my emphasis to the fact that it is in our life and conduct that we must show our devotion to Christ. The silent Gospel reaches further than the grandest rhetoric.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity.
