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[Together we have come to realize that for most men the right to learn is curtailed by the obligation to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Together we have come to realize that for most men the right to learn is curtailed by the obligation to attend school]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it isregret for the things we did not do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22106]]></link><description><![CDATA[Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it isregret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. -Kahlil Gibran. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24978]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. -Kahlil Gibran.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were in a better condition, acknowledging only a terror above them flaming on that unknown mountain height, than stooping ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8125]]></link><description><![CDATA[They were in a better condition, acknowledging only a terror above them flaming on that unknown mountain height, than stooping to worship the idol below them. Fear is nobler than sensuality. Fear is better than no God, better than a god made with hands. In that fear lay deep hidden the sense of the infinite. The worship of fear is true, though very low; and though not acceptable to God in itself -- for only the worship of spirit and of truth is acceptable to him -- yet even in His sight it is precious. For he regards men not as they are merely, but as they shall be; not as they shall be merely, but as they are now growing, or capable of growing, towards that image after which He made them that they might grow to it. Therefore a thousand stages, each in itself all but valueless, are of inestimable worth as the necessary and connected gradations of an infinite progress. A condition which of declension would indicate a devil, may of growth indicate a saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dust of some is Irish earth, Among their own they rest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23045]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dust of some is Irish earth, Among their own they rest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28301]]></link><description><![CDATA[Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as war is looked upon as wicked, it will always have its fascination.
