What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of obtaining a political decision. 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[Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52591]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Count your age with friends but not with years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Count your age with friends but not with years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many people who think that Sunday is a sponge to wipe out all the sins of the week. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7898]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are many people who think that Sunday is a sponge to wipe out all the sins of the week.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We then use the empty containers that we off load and fill them back up with cotton from the United ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37134]]></link><description><![CDATA[We then use the empty containers that we off load and fill them back up with cotton from the United States and send it to China.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The test of a true myth is that each time you return to it, new insights and interpretations arise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43612]]></link><description><![CDATA[The test of a true myth is that each time you return to it, new insights and interpretations arise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A kiss without a hug is like a flower without the fragrance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16265]]></link><description><![CDATA[A kiss without a hug is like a flower without the fragrance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dance is about never-ending aspiration. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11012]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dance is about never-ending aspiration.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is probably the best group of players in my years here.

TheChrysalis moved its tail, and thus attracted the attention of the Ant,who then saw for the first time that it was alive. Poor, pitiableanimal! cried the Ant disdainfully. What a sad fate is yours!While I can run hither and thither, at my pleasure, and, if I wish,ascend the tallest tree, you lie imprisoned here in your shell, withpower only to move a joint or two of your scaly tail. The Chrysalisheard all this, but did not try to make any reply. A few days after,when the Ant passed that way again, nothing but the shell remained.Wondering what had become of its contents, he felt himself suddenlyshaded and fanned by the gorgeous wings of a beautiful Butterfly.Behold in me, said the Butterfly, your much-pitied friend! Boastnow of your powers to run and climb as long as you can get me tolisten. So saying, the Butterfly rose in the air, and, borne alongand aloft on the summer breeze, was soon lost to the sight of theAnt forever.Appearances are deceptive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Stag in the Ox-StallA stag, roundly chased by the hounds and blinded by fear to the danger he was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1600]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Stag in the Ox-StallA stag, roundly chased by the hounds and blinded by fear to the danger he was running into, took shelter in a farmyard and hid himself in a shed among the oxen. An Ox gave him this kindly warning: O unhappy creature! why should you thus, of your own accord, incur destruction and trust yourself in the house of your enemy?' The Stag replied: Only allow me, friend, to stay where I am, and I will undertake to find some favorable opportunity of effecting my escape. At the approach of the evening the herdsman came to feed his cattle, but did not see the Stag; and even the farm-bailiff with several laborers passed through the shed and failed to notice him. The Stag, congratulating himself on his safety, began to express his sincere thanks to the Oxen who had kindly helped him in the hour of need. One of them again answered him: We indeed wish you well, but the danger is not over. There is one other yet to pass through the shed, who has as it were a hundred eyes, and until he has come and gone, your life is still in peril. At that moment the master himself entered, and having had to complain that his oxen had not been properly fed, he went up to their racks and cried out: Why is there such a scarcity of fodder? There is not half enough straw for them to lie on. Those lazy fellows have not even swept the cobwebs away. While he thus examined everything in turn, he spied the tips of the antlers of the Stag peeping out of the straw. Then summoning his laborers, he ordered that the Stag should be seized and killed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freud: If it’s not one thing, it’s your mother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51987]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freud: If it’s not one thing, it’s your mother.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It took 25 years to de-list the peregrine falcon.
