Sometimes migrating groups of potato-washers meet non-washers, and the two groups watch each other's strange behavior with apparent bewilderment. But unlike the inhabitants of Lilliput, who fought holy crusades over the question at which end to break the egg, the potato-washing monkeys do not go to war with the non-washers, because the poor creatures have no language which would enable them to declare washing a diving commandment and eating unwashed potatoes a deadly heresy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tears are at times as eloquent as words.

What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of obtaining a political decision. But it may easily become an absurd tyranny if we regard it worshipfully, as though it were more than a political device. We have lost all sense of its true meaning when we imagine that the opinion of fifty-one per cent is in some high fashion the true opinion of the whole hundred per cent, or indulge in the sophistry that the rule of a majority is based upon the ultimate equality of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The spirit or life spark which animates this manifestation could be called God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63959]]></link><description><![CDATA[The spirit or life spark which animates this manifestation could be called God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The German is the discipline of fear; ours is the discipline of faith--and faith will triumph. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14974]]></link><description><![CDATA[The German is the discipline of fear; ours is the discipline of faith--and faith will triumph.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty--a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26540]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty--a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No member of a crew is praised for the rugged individuality of his rowing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58773]]></link><description><![CDATA[No member of a crew is praised for the rugged individuality of his rowing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been increasingly difficult to buy even a 30-acre piece. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29144]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's been increasingly difficult to buy even a 30-acre piece.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The side played sensationally.
