That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life's most urgent question is: What are you doing for others? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56734]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life's most urgent question is: What are you doing for others?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, we love peace, but we are not willing to take wounds for it, as we are for war. - ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes, we love peace, but we are not willing to take wounds for it, as we are for war. - Wisdom in Small Doses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My friends, remember this, that there are no weeds, and no worthless men, there are only bad farmers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51907]]></link><description><![CDATA[My friends, remember this, that there are no weeds, and no worthless men, there are only bad farmers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is the sin which is not Sin in itself?

We must realize that God is against us when we are sinning; yet we dare trust that His gracious love reaches to us across the chasm which separates us from Him. When we understand His loving attitude and accept His Grace, He releases His love in us. By that love we are able to begin to keep His commands for us -- to love Him with heart, mind, soul and strength, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For whom the Lord liveth he correcteth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48595]]></link><description><![CDATA[For whom the Lord liveth he correcteth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise man sets bounds even to his innocent desires. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50510]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise man sets bounds even to his innocent desires.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's exceedingly intelligent, very sharp, and he's got a great deal of humanity.

We shrink from the consequences of truth. We look round and cling dependently. We ask what men will think; what others will say; whether they will not stare in astonishment. Perhaps they will; but he who is calculating that, will accomplish nothing in this life. The Father -- the Father which is with us and in us -- what does He think? God's work cannot be done without a spirit of independence. A man is got some way in the Christian life when he has learned to say, humbly yet majestically, "I dare to be alone.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[NATO has not received any formal request from the UN or from the AU for anything beyond what it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37057]]></link><description><![CDATA[NATO has not received any formal request from the UN or from the AU for anything beyond what it is currently doing.
