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[I think that everyone would feel that a renegotiation that allows for a percentage of revenue would be the optimal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28801]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that everyone would feel that a renegotiation that allows for a percentage of revenue would be the optimal outcome.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I'd known how old I was going to be I'd have taken better care of myself. -Adolph Zukor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1873]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I'd known how old I was going to be I'd have taken better care of myself. -Adolph Zukor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important thing about motivation is goal setting.
