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[Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13584]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Health-care costs have been their No. 1 concern for 20 years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Health-care costs have been their No. 1 concern for 20 years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That destructive siren, sloth, is ever to be avoided. [Lat., Vitanda est improba--desidia.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20337]]></link><description><![CDATA[That destructive siren, sloth, is ever to be avoided. [Lat., Vitanda est improba--desidia.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you are alive, it isn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you are alive, it isn't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Little journeys and good cost bring safe home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49603]]></link><description><![CDATA[Little journeys and good cost bring safe home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The government has a solid base.

This, I believe, is partly due to man's enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as "myth" all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[During the many centuries that magic, here on this planet, was presumed to have worked, there were at least as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41201]]></link><description><![CDATA[During the many centuries that magic, here on this planet, was presumed to have worked, there were at least as many theories as to how magic worked as there were cultures and religions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are the best of the best good temperament, good medical background, good size. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36427]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are the best of the best good temperament, good medical background, good size.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We two parted In silence and tears,  Half broken-hearted   To sever for years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45560]]></link><description><![CDATA[We two parted In silence and tears,  Half broken-hearted   To sever for years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Granta! sweet Granta! where studious of ease, I slumbered seven years, and then lost by degrees. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58032]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Granta! sweet Granta! where studious of ease, I slumbered seven years, and then lost by degrees.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the division race will come down to the final week. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32878]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the division race will come down to the final week.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51561]]></link><description><![CDATA[God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flow on, lovely Dee, flow on, thou sweet river, Thy banks' purest stream shall be dear to me ever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54333]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flow on, lovely Dee, flow on, thou sweet river, Thy banks' purest stream shall be dear to me ever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Twas slander filled her mouth with lying words; Slander, the foulest whelp of Sin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56548]]></link><description><![CDATA['Twas slander filled her mouth with lying words; Slander, the foulest whelp of Sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No brain is stronger than its weakest think. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59216]]></link><description><![CDATA[No brain is stronger than its weakest think.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no point in staying around when you can get a bike ride in at the rink.
