What is it in which these people, differing as widely as they do, are vitally and fundamentally at one, so that through all their differences they form a brotherhood and are conscious of an indissolubale spiritual bond?

Its failure to do so results in its sinking to that level of locution at which society falls easy prey to a demagogue or a tyrant. This is society's own equivalent of oblivion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst of misery Is when a nature framed for noblest things  Condemns itself in youth to petty joys, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42757]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst of misery Is when a nature framed for noblest things  Condemns itself in youth to petty joys,   And, sore athirst for air, breathes scanty life    Gasping from out the shallows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is a friend who will never betray. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is a friend who will never betray.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mankind has survived all catastrophes.
