A free society is as much a threat to the intellectual's sense of worth as an automated economy is to the workingman's sense of worth. Any social order that can function with a minimum of leadership will be anathema to the intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wise men never sit and wail their loss, but cheerily seek how to redress their harms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wise men never sit and wail their loss, but cheerily seek how to redress their harms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Care should be taken that the punishment does not exceed the guilt; and also that some men do not suffer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Care should be taken that the punishment does not exceed the guilt; and also that some men do not suffer for offenses for which others are not even indicted. [Lat., Cavendum est ne major poena quam culpa sit; et ne iisdem de causis alii plectantur, alii ne appellentur quidem.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Toil, feel, think, hope; you will be sure to dream enough before you die, without arranging for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12822]]></link><description><![CDATA[Toil, feel, think, hope; you will be sure to dream enough before you die, without arranging for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Destiny is an invention of the cowardly and the resigned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56900]]></link><description><![CDATA[Destiny is an invention of the cowardly and the resigned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I mix them with my brains, sir. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45427]]></link><description><![CDATA[I mix them with my brains, sir.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hold it true,what'er befall;I feel it, when I sorrow most;'Tis better to have loved and lostThan never to have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25354]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hold it true,what'er befall;I feel it, when I sorrow most;'Tis better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at all. - In Memoriam.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Morn on the waters, and purple and bright Bursts on the billows the flushing of light  O'er the glad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56173]]></link><description><![CDATA[Morn on the waters, and purple and bright Bursts on the billows the flushing of light  O'er the glad waves, like a child of the sun,   See the tall vessel goes gallantly on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That was not part of the U.N. resolution; it was not part of the mandate to go on to Baghdad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40671]]></link><description><![CDATA[That was not part of the U.N. resolution; it was not part of the mandate to go on to Baghdad and, frankly, if we had gone into Baghdad and pushed Saddam Hussein off, we would have inherited an even bigger mess than the mess we inherited with the refugee problem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Both of them have tremendous power.
