When we ascribe the success of a movement to its faith, doctrine, propaganda, leadership, ruthlessness and so on, we are but referring to instruments of unification and to means used to inculcate a readiness for self-sacrifice. It is perhaps impossible to understand the nature of a mass movement unless it is recognized that their chief preoccupation is to foster, perfect and perpetuate a facility for united action and self-sacrifice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we propose to ignore in a great man's teaching those doctrines which it has in common with the thought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8518]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we propose to ignore in a great man's teaching those doctrines which it has in common with the thought of his age, we seem to be assuming that the thought of his age was erroneous. When we select for serious consideration those doctrines which "transcend" the thought of his own age and are "for all time", we are assuming that the thought of our age is correct: for of course by thoughts which transcend the great man's age we really mean thoughts that agree with ours. Thus I value Shakespeare's picture of the transformation in old Lear more than I value his views about the divine right of kings, because I agree with Shakespeare that a man can be purified by suffering like Lear, but do not believe that kings (or any other rulers) have divine right in the sense required. When the great man's views do not seem to us erroneous we do not value them the less for having been shared with his contemporaries. Shakespeare's disdain for treachery and Christ's blessing on the poor were not alien to the outlook of their respective periods; but no one wishes to discredit them on that account.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Destiny has two ways of crushing us -- by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Destiny has two ways of crushing us -- by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62261]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bias and impartiality is in the eye of the beholder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46232]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bias and impartiality is in the eye of the beholder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the old armchair quarterback theory, that a fan can be a better coach, better owner than the guy in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36062]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's the old armchair quarterback theory, that a fan can be a better coach, better owner than the guy in the owner's box.
