For where unification has been able to establish unity of ideas it has usually ended in uniformity, paralysing the growth of new ideas. And where the unification has merely brought about an artificial or imposed unity, its irksomeness has led through discord to disruption.Vitality springs from diversity- which makes for real progress so long as there is mutual toleration, based on the recognition that worse may come from an attempt to suppress differences than from acceptance of them. For this reason, the kind of peace that makes progress possible is best assured by the mutual checks created by a balance of forces- alike in the sphere of internal politics and of international relations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quick beleevers neede broad shoulders. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49726]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quick beleevers neede broad shoulders.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The object of oratory alone is not truth, but persuasion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45239]]></link><description><![CDATA[The object of oratory alone is not truth, but persuasion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16294]]></link><description><![CDATA[A person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is proper that every man should measure himself by his own proportion and standard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50284]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is proper that every man should measure himself by his own proportion and standard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26340]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once you care about a person, it’s impossible to be logical about them anymore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65757]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once you care about a person, it’s impossible to be logical about them anymore.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think computer viruses should count as life.

The practical organization offers opportunities for self-advancement, and its appeal is mainly to self-interest. On the other hand, a mass movement, particularly in its active, revivalist phase, appeals not to those intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. A mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften. [Lat., Nullus dolor est quem non longinquitas temporis minuat ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18328]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften. [Lat., Nullus dolor est quem non longinquitas temporis minuat ac molliat.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't have a president who is our agenda-setter, so we have multiple voices on every issue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40348]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't have a president who is our agenda-setter, so we have multiple voices on every issue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think anegative thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21155]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think anegative thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is good for you...in small doses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28056]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is good for you...in small doses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is always good to win the first match of the series, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41967]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is always good to win the first match of the series,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a state-run society the government promises you security.
