He may hand down everything else, so long as it is material and not pertaining to his person, for it may be acquired and disposed of as property and may over a series of generations create considerable inequalities in wealth among the mem­bers of the commonwealt. But he may not prevent his sub­ordinates from raising themselves to his own level if they are able and entitled to do so by their talent, industry and good fortune. If this were not so, he would be allowed to practise coercion without himself being subject to coercive counter-measures from others, and would thus be more than their fellow-subject.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43956]]></link><description><![CDATA[How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility.
