This assumption is quite erroneous...The great masses of men, even in this inspired republic, are precisely where the mob was at the dawn of history. They are ignorant, they are dishonest, they are cowardly, they are ignoble. They know little if anything that is worth knowing, and there is not the slightest sign of a natural desire among them to increase their knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60600]]></link><description><![CDATA[The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're overwhelmed with the orders and requests but it just seemed to be the thing to do.
