What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of obtaining a political decision. But it may easily become an absurd tyranny if we regard it worshipfully, as though it were more than a political device. We have lost all sense of its true meaning when we imagine that the opinion of fifty-one per cent is in some high fashion the true opinion of the whole hundred per cent, or indulge in the sophistry that the rule of a majority is based upon the ultimate equality of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man must consider what a rich realm he abdicates when he becomes a conformist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9730]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man must consider what a rich realm he abdicates when he becomes a conformist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitudes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46977]]></link><description><![CDATA[The last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitudes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soul of God is poured into the world through the thoughts of men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59228]]></link><description><![CDATA[The soul of God is poured into the world through the thoughts of men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the Brazilian port with greatest infrastructure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42606]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the Brazilian port with greatest infrastructure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the second half by our children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27930]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the second half by our children.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates.

Here is a bon mot and a useful desire, but equally absurd. For to make the handful bigger than the hand, the armful bigger then the arm, and to hope to stride further than the stretch of our legs, is impossible and monstrous. . . . He may lift himself if God lend him His hand of special grace; he may lift himself . . . by means wholly celestial. It is for our Christian religion, and not for his Stoic virtue, to pretend to this divine and miraculous metamorphosis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Style is the image of character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2837]]></link><description><![CDATA[Style is the image of character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing that you will make one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21207]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing that you will make one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What ever disunites man from God, also disunites man from man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60152]]></link><description><![CDATA[What ever disunites man from God, also disunites man from man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Physicians mend or end us; but though in health we sneer; when sick we call them to attend us, without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Physicians mend or end us; but though in health we sneer; when sick we call them to attend us, without the least propensity to jeer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The question why there is evil in existence is the same as why there is imperfection...

We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith. For the majority of people cannot endure the barrenness and futility of their lives unless they have some ardent dedication, or some passionate pursuit in which they can lose themselves. Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet April! many a thought Is wedded unto thee, as hearts are wed;  Nor shall they fail, till, to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2988]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet April! many a thought Is wedded unto thee, as hearts are wed;  Nor shall they fail, till, to its autumn brought,   Life's golden fruit is shed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never let a fool kiss you, or a kiss fool you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never let a fool kiss you, or a kiss fool you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am at this moment thirty-seven years old.
