Hence a man’s reaction to monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be ‘debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll let the voters make the determination about the impact of this.

God Himself cannot make a creature to be in itself, or in its own nature, anything else but a state of emptiness. The highest life that is natural and creaturely can go no higher than this: it can only be a bare capacity for goodness and cannot possibly be a good and happy life but by the life of God dwelling in it and in union with it. And this is the two-fold life that, of all necessity, must be united in every good and happy and perfect creature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is genuine when two friends can enjoy each others company without speaking a word to one another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16816]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is genuine when two friends can enjoy each others company without speaking a word to one another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the silhouette of the kimono costume will become engraved in people's minds.
