Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that hath charge of soules transports them not in bundles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that hath charge of soules transports them not in bundles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad taste is a species of bad morals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58659]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bad taste is a species of bad morals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men naturally despise those who court them, but respect those who do not give way to them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men naturally despise those who court them, but respect those who do not give way to them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no way this bank should be sold at this price because all the information about the business of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29909]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no way this bank should be sold at this price because all the information about the business of the bank, about the balance sheet, clearly states that this bank should be sold around the 61 to 65 (pound per share) level.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man sends you an impudent letter, sit right down and give it back to him with interest ten ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24645]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man sends you an impudent letter, sit right down and give it back to him with interest ten times compounded, and then throw both letters in the wastebasket.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People tend to forget their duties but remember their rights. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64193]]></link><description><![CDATA[People tend to forget their duties but remember their rights.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today I choose life.
