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[Bigotry's birthplace is the sinister back room of the mind where plots and schemes are hatched for the persecution and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bigotry's birthplace is the sinister back room of the mind where plots and schemes are hatched for the persecution and oppression of other human beings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wish I knew the good of wishing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61784]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish I knew the good of wishing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were down, and for some reason, they just tried to shoot our way back in it.
