I mean, how many leftists are animated by a quite reasonable self-loathing? In their hearts they know that they are not going to become scholars or inventors or industrialists or even ordinary good kind people. So they need a way to achieve that smugness for which the left is so justifiably famous. They need a way to achieve self-esteem without merit. Well, there is politics. In an egalitarian world everything will be controlled by politics, and politics requires no merit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55078]]></link><description><![CDATA[Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want more self-regulation.

As a plain matter of fact, religion in this country is generally regarded as a tolerated pastime for such people as happen to like to indulge in occasional godly exercises -- as a strictly private matter in an increasingly close-knit and socially acting society -- in other words, as something that does not count. I should like to see the Church recognize that it has been pushed into the realm of the non-essentials, and to persuade it to fight like fury for the right and the duty to bring every act of America and Americans before the bar of God's judgment. [Christian leaders] are making valiant claim to such a right and duty; but the great mass of Church members are content to regard the Church as a conglomerate of private culture clubs, nice for christenings, weddings and funerals. Most Church members readily agree with the unchurched majority that it is not the proper business of the Church to criticize America or Americans.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Earth took her shining station as a star, In Heaven's dark hall, high up the crowd of worlds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62193]]></link><description><![CDATA[Earth took her shining station as a star, In Heaven's dark hall, high up the crowd of worlds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A week ago, you could sense the soul of New Orleans from the people who were still around.
