Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men have an instinct for conflict: at least, all healthy men. - The Silence of the Sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44175]]></link><description><![CDATA[All men have an instinct for conflict: at least, all healthy men. - The Silence of the Sea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's high and low (culture), and we're casting a net wide.
