So they need a way to achieve that smugness for which the left is so justifiably famous. They need a way to achieve self-esteem without merit. Well, there is politics. In an egalitarian world everything will be controlled by politics, and politics requires no merit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mountains appear more lofty, the nearer they are approached, but great men resemble them not in this particular ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43294]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mountains appear more lofty, the nearer they are approached, but great men resemble them not in this particular]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fish and guests smell after three days. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1436]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fish and guests smell after three days.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...consequence you'll see will be stranger than a gang of drunken mimes... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27487]]></link><description><![CDATA[...consequence you'll see will be stranger than a gang of drunken mimes...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Popularity is the easiest thing in the world to gain and it is the hardest thing to hold ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Popularity is the easiest thing in the world to gain and it is the hardest thing to hold]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only art her guilt to cover, To hide her shame from every eye,  To give repentance to her ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56128]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only art her guilt to cover, To hide her shame from every eye,  To give repentance to her lover,   And wring his bosom, is--to die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is short, live it.
