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[Order is Heaven's first law; and this confess, Some are and must be greater than the rest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45265]]></link><description><![CDATA[Order is Heaven's first law; and this confess, Some are and must be greater than the rest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man perfect to the finger tips. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50179]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man perfect to the finger tips.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Water, fire, and souldiers, quickly make roome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50041]]></link><description><![CDATA[Water, fire, and souldiers, quickly make roome.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Egotism is the anesthetic given by a kindly nature to relieve the pain of being a damned fool. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13678]]></link><description><![CDATA[Egotism is the anesthetic given by a kindly nature to relieve the pain of being a damned fool.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The stocks are certainly more expensive than they were a year ago.

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of the young doctor and the old barber. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48966]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beware of the young doctor and the old barber.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fraud and falsehood only dread examination.
