A free society is as much a threat to the intellectual's sense of worth as an automated economy is to the workingman's sense of worth. Any social order that can function with a minimum of leadership will be anathema to the intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13549]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards. -Anatole France.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience is no more transferable in morals than in art. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience is no more transferable in morals than in art.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning, after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2086]]></link><description><![CDATA[The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning, after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A really plain woman is one who, however beautiful, neglects to charm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5779]]></link><description><![CDATA[A really plain woman is one who, however beautiful, neglects to charm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man alone is sincere.
