They do not confer upon majorities unlimited powers. The rights of the majority are limited rights. They are limited not only by the constitutional guarantees but by the moral principle implied in those guarantees. That principle is that men may not use the facilities of liberty to impair them. No man may invoke a right in order to destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way to be happy is to love to suffer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58215]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way to be happy is to love to suffer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a little truth in all jive, and a little jive in all truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2146]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a little truth in all jive, and a little jive in all truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He does it with a better grace, but I do it more natural. -Twelfth Night.

The intellectual heritage of the race belongs to the minority, and to the minority only. The majority has no more to do with it than it has to do with ecclesiastic politics on Mars.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing has an uglier look to us than reason, when it is not on our side. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52078]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing has an uglier look to us than reason, when it is not on our side.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My first start I had better stuff.

We may conclude, then, that all the promises and predictions in Scripture relative to the future glories of the Jews and of Jerusalem, are to be understood of the Christian church, of which the Jewish church was a figure; and all that is said of feasting, and splendor, and wealth, and worldly greatness and enjoyment, is to be interpreted spiritually of the inward comfort and peace of mind, and "joy of the Holy Ghost", which is promised to sincere Christians in this life, and of the unspeakable happiness prepared for them after death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country. [Lat., Servare cives, major ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45813]]></link><description><![CDATA[To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country. [Lat., Servare cives, major est virtus patriae patri.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Traveller at Sparta, standing long upon one leg, said to a Lacedaemonian, "I do not believe you can do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Traveller at Sparta, standing long upon one leg, said to a Lacedaemonian, "I do not believe you can do as much."
