Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. A man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride in phallic identity.

Since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despair is perfectly compatible with a good dinner, I promise you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12033]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despair is perfectly compatible with a good dinner, I promise you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nation will find it very hard to look up to the leaders who are keeping their ears to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24466]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nation will find it very hard to look up to the leaders who are keeping their ears to the ground.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43265]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The attempt to force human beings to despise themselves is what I call hell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66654]]></link><description><![CDATA[The attempt to force human beings to despise themselves is what I call hell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32660]]></link><description><![CDATA[O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we practice and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, soon the whole world will be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16549]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we practice and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, soon the whole world will be blind and toothless.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got quite a few ideas.

He must make the different parts of the scheme fit into each other; his dexterity is shown, not in detecting facts, but in cutting them square... I hope you will not forget that the Bible is the history of God's acts to men, not of men's thoughts about God. It begins from Him.
