Hence a man’s reaction to monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be ‘debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers.

Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11729]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying."
