If that theory is accepted, we must abandon the notion that democratic government can be the direct expression of the will of the people. We must abandon the notion that the people govern. Instead we must adopt the theory that, by their occasional mobilizations as a majority, people support or oppose the individuals who actually govern. We must say that the popular will does not direct continuously but that it intervenes occasionally.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I'm going to Hell, I'm going there playing the piano. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11310]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I'm going to Hell, I'm going there playing the piano.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you lose the entire front four, and they were all drafted by the NFL, it's easy to say you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29872]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you lose the entire front four, and they were all drafted by the NFL, it's easy to say you won't be any good, ...

Some even wanted him to be king, a thought that GW found ludicrous: What astonishing changes a few years are capable of producing! I am told that even respectable characters speak of a monarchical form of government without horror. From thinking proceeds speaking, thence to acting is often but a single step.
