Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well 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 mere 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/8507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fight till the last gasp. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fight till the last gasp.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They kept telling me, 'You are a liar,' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41273]]></link><description><![CDATA[They kept telling me, 'You are a liar,']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brotherhood is the very price and condition of man's survival. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4944]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brotherhood is the very price and condition of man's survival.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4590]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being in politics is like coaching football.

The reaction to such a study may indeed prove to be conversion or open hostility, but it would at least mean the end of childish and ill-informed attacks upon what is supposed to be the Christian religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guido the plumber and Michelangelo obtained their marble from the same quarry, but what each saw in the marble made ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Guido the plumber and Michelangelo obtained their marble from the same quarry, but what each saw in the marble made the difference between a nobleman's sink and a brilliant sculpture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been said that idleness is the parent of mischief, which is very true; but mischief itself is merely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24383]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has been said that idleness is the parent of mischief, which is very true; but mischief itself is merely an attempt to escape from the dreary vacuum of idleness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The land is exceptionally beautiful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39578]]></link><description><![CDATA[The land is exceptionally beautiful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a real trickle down effect when there isn't much snow.
