Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Which of them shall I take? Both?

There is no other means to safeguard a propitious development of human affairs than to make the masses of inferior people adopt the ideas of the elite. This has to be achieved by convincing them. It cannot be accomplished by a despotic regime that instead of enlightening the masses beats them into submission. In the long run the ideas of the majority, however detrimental they may be, will carry on. The future of mankind depends on the ability of the elite to influence public opinion in the right direction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you give yourself, you receive more than you give. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64352]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brave men were living before Agamemnon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brave men were living before Agamemnon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Detective stories are the art-for-art's sake of yawning Philistinism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62474]]></link><description><![CDATA[Detective stories are the art-for-art's sake of yawning Philistinism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a tree frog that's possibly a new species. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34646]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a tree frog that's possibly a new species.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the educated are free. -Epictetus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the educated are free. -Epictetus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think housework is the reason most women go to the office. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19906]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think housework is the reason most women go to the office.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Usenet is like Tetris for people who still remember how to read. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9433]]></link><description><![CDATA[Usenet is like Tetris for people who still remember how to read.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rich swell up with pride, the poor from hunger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15782]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rich swell up with pride, the poor from hunger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He said each day, he wants to work as hard as Dan did. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32435]]></link><description><![CDATA[He said each day, he wants to work as hard as Dan did.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd like to stop at 3 feet and let it set a little, see how it looks along the seams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30188]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd like to stop at 3 feet and let it set a little, see how it looks along the seams.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19054]]></link><description><![CDATA[It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doeg, though without knowing how or why, Made a still a blundering kind of melody;  Spurr'd boldly on, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doeg, though without knowing how or why, Made a still a blundering kind of melody;  Spurr'd boldly on, and dash'd through thick and thin,   Through sense and nonsense, never out nor in;    Free from all meaning whether good or bad,     And in one word, heroically mad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Steadfastness is a noble quality, but unguided by knowledge or humility it becomes rashness or obstinacy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Steadfastness is a noble quality, but unguided by knowledge or humility it becomes rashness or obstinacy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How poor are they that have not patience!
