For where unification has been able to establish unity of ideas it has usually ended in uniformity, paralysing the growth of new ideas. And where the unification has merely brought about an artificial or imposed unity, its irksomeness has led through discord to disruption.Vitality springs from diversity- which makes for real progress so long as there is mutual toleration, based on the recognition that worse may come from an attempt to suppress differences than from acceptance of them. For this reason, the kind of peace that makes progress possible is best assured by the mutual checks created by a balance of forces- alike in the sphere of internal politics and of international relations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is organized knowledge.

But we do not ordinarily apply it to the best purposes. It is not so ordinary for men to resolve to be good as to resolve to be rich and great, not so common for men to resolve against sin as to resolve against poverty and suffering. It is not so usual for men to resolve to keep a good conscience as to keep a good place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sermon on a hat: "'The hat, my boy, the hat, whatever it may be, is in itself nothing--makes nothing, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18889]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sermon on a hat: "'The hat, my boy, the hat, whatever it may be, is in itself nothing--makes nothing, goes for nothing; but, be sure of it, everything is life depends upon the cock of the hat.'

The cock's all."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...passionate intensity may serve as a substitute for confidence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52277]]></link><description><![CDATA[...passionate intensity may serve as a substitute for confidence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48575]]></link><description><![CDATA[And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To say the truth, though I say 't that should not say 't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59798]]></link><description><![CDATA[To say the truth, though I say 't that should not say 't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's almost a death wish in a way.
