If that theory is accepted, we must abandon the notion that democratic government can be the direct expression of the will of the people. We must abandon the notion that the people govern. Instead we must adopt the theory that, by their occasional mobilizations as a majority, people support or oppose the individuals who actually govern. We must say that the popular will does not direct continuously but that it intervenes occasionally.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The creative person is both more primitive and more cultivated, more destructive, a lot madder and a lot saner, than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20541]]></link><description><![CDATA[The creative person is both more primitive and more cultivated, more destructive, a lot madder and a lot saner, than the average person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're providing all the supplies and dinner.

And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is friendship set on fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25857]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is friendship set on fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't legislate intelligence and common sense into people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24316]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't legislate intelligence and common sense into people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know, when they prove bad, they are a sort of the vilest creatures: yet still the same reason gives ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10193]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know, when they prove bad, they are a sort of the vilest creatures: yet still the same reason gives it: for Optima corrupta pessima: the best things corrupted become the worst.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of men on airplanes.
