There is no process by which to reach an ideal. There are no tests by which to verify it. It is therefore impossible to frame a proposition about an ideal which can be proved or disproved. It follows that the use of ideals is to be strictly limited to proper cases, and that the attempt to use ideals in social discussion does not deserve serious consideration.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2632]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think she'll be excited when she gets the 3,000.
