The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men become civilized, not in proportion to their willingness to believe, but in proportion to their readiness to doubt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men become civilized, not in proportion to their willingness to believe, but in proportion to their readiness to doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know anyone who curses the way they do on the Sopranos.

Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact is shattering. What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we intend to do good, we do. When we intend to do harm, it happens. What each of us must come to realize is that our intent always comes through. We cannot sugarcoat the feelings in our heart of hearts. The emotion is the energy that motivates. We cannot ignore what we really want to create. We should be honest and do it the way we feel it. What we owe to ourselves and everyone around is to examine the reasons of our true intent.My intent will be evident in the results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The people of your culture cling with fanatical tenacity to the specialness of man.

But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world men inhabit is rather bleak.

It is a world full of doubt and confusion, where vulnerability must be hidden, not shared; where competition, not co-operation, is the order of the day; where men sacrifice the possibility of knowing their own children and sharing in their upbringing, for the sake of a job they may have chosen by chance, which may not suit them and which in many cases dominates their lives to the exclusion of much else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You look rather rash my dear your colors don't quite match your face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32309]]></link><description><![CDATA[You look rather rash my dear your colors don't quite match your face.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with ignorance is that it picks up confidence as it goes along. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9685]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with ignorance is that it picks up confidence as it goes along.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good manners have much to do with emotions.
