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[Mechanical difficulties with language are the outcome of internal difficulties with thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24055]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mechanical difficulties with language are the outcome of internal difficulties with thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too much sanity may be madness.
