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[Seek that which within lies waiting to begin the fight of your life that is everyday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36664]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek that which within lies waiting to begin the fight of your life that is everyday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the things I might have said that fester. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26838]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's the things I might have said that fester.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This will be to coordinate inquiries and efforts, exchange information and plan for the future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29320]]></link><description><![CDATA[This will be to coordinate inquiries and efforts, exchange information and plan for the future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66063]]></link><description><![CDATA[I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The camp was stormed about 4 a.m. (0400 GMT) this morning.

To accept that as the will of our Lord which to us is inconsistent with what we learned to worship in Him already, is to introduce discord into that harmony whose end is to unite our hearts, and make them whole. "Is it for us," says the objector who, by some sleight of will, believes in the word apart from the meaning for which it stands, "to judge the character of our Lord?" I answer, "This very thing He requires of us." He requires of us that we should do Him no injustice. He would come and dwell with us, if we would but open our chambers to receive Him. How shall we receive Him is, avoiding judgement, we hold this or that daub of authority or tradition hanging upon our walls to be the real likeness of our Lord?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thank heaven.
