A free society is as much a threat to the intellectual's sense of worth as an automated economy is to the workingman's sense of worth. Any social order that can function with a minimum of leadership will be anathema to the intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That perfect tranquillity of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59556]]></link><description><![CDATA[That perfect tranquillity of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With these qualities, we can achieve revival and bounce back stronger than ever before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40868]]></link><description><![CDATA[With these qualities, we can achieve revival and bounce back stronger than ever before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Custom is the great guide to human life ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10886]]></link><description><![CDATA[Custom is the great guide to human life]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This sickness doth infect The very life-blood of our enterprise. -King Henry IV.
