What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine?

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[You must first have a lot of patience to learn to have patience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22011]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must first have a lot of patience to learn to have patience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59758]]></link><description><![CDATA[As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13414]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The writing of a poem is like a child throwing stones into a mineshaft.
