Let us say that man is the kind of creature who naturally sees the world from a very limited perspective, that he tends to be self-centered and to prefer the interests that are closest to himself and to his own social group. Let us say that man is naturally unwilling to accept his limited or finite status, that he is always seeking to extend his control over others, that he seeks to maintain his own security by means of power over all who may threaten it, that he likes to be in a position to compare himself with others to their disadvantage, that he seeks to be self-sufficient and to deny in effect his dependence upon God and to set up his own group or system or ideal in the place of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'll always have people who are excited by [online learning] and people who are cautious.

That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14540]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[C is for cookie, it's good enough for me; oh cookie cookie cookie starts with C. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10160]]></link><description><![CDATA[C is for cookie, it's good enough for me; oh cookie cookie cookie starts with C.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[October turned by maple's leaves to gold; The most are gone now; here and there one lingers;  Soon these ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44895]]></link><description><![CDATA[October turned by maple's leaves to gold; The most are gone now; here and there one lingers;  Soon these will slip from the twig's weak hold,   Like coins between a dying miser's fingers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What voice did on my spirit fall, Peschiera, when thy bridge I crost?  'Tis better to have fought and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6056]]></link><description><![CDATA[What voice did on my spirit fall, Peschiera, when thy bridge I crost?  'Tis better to have fought and lost   That never to have fought at all!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11852]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mike assumed the role, with a young team, that he had to assume.

Whatever need or trouble you are in, there is always something to help you in your Bible, if only you go on reading till you come to the word God specially has for you. I have noticed this often. Sometimes the special word is in the portion you would naturally read, or in the Psalm for the day, ... but you must go on till you find it, for it is always somewhere.
