What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of obtaining a political decision. But it may easily become an absurd tyranny if we regard it worshipfully, as though it were more than a political device. We have lost all sense of its true meaning when we imagine that the opinion of fifty-one per cent is in some high fashion the true opinion of the whole hundred per cent, or indulge in the sophistry that the rule of a majority is based upon the ultimate equality of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It will be up to the Gaming Control Board to determine when they are satisfied with the technology.

It is God. We have mistaken the nature of poverty, and thought it was economic poverty. No, it is poverty of soul, deprivation of God's recreating, loving peace. Peer into poverty and see if we are really getting down to the deepest needs, in our economic salvation schemes. These are important. But they lie farther along the road, secondary steps toward world reconstruction. The primary step is a holy life, transformed and radiant in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more the eggs, the worse the hatch, The more the fish, the worse the catch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50168]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more the eggs, the worse the hatch, The more the fish, the worse the catch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Would he were fatter!
