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[Just because somebody doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with everything ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just because somebody doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with everything they got]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a perplexing and unpleasant truth that when men already have "something worth fighting for," they do not feel ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56842]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a perplexing and unpleasant truth that when men already have "something worth fighting for," they do not feel like fighting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56842</guid></item></channel></rss>
