This losing of things is the mercy of God: it comes to teach us to let them go. Or have I forgotten a thought that came to me, which seemed of the truth? I keep trying and trying to call it back, feeling a poor man until that thought be recovered -- to be far more lost, perhaps, in a notebook into which I shall never look again to find it!

It has neither accorded him a superior status to sustain his confidence nor made it easy for him to acquire an unquestioned sense of social usefulness. For he derives his sense of usefulness mainly from directing, instructing, and planning- from minding other people's business- and is bound to feel superfluous and neglected where people believe themselves competent to manage individual and communal affairs, and are impatient of supervision and regulation. 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[A person's life is limited but serving the people is limitless. I want to devote my limited life to serving ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55215]]></link><description><![CDATA[A person's life is limited but serving the people is limitless. I want to devote my limited life to serving the people limitlessly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Gay panic' is insidious.
