I mean, how many leftists are animated by a quite reasonable self-loathing? In their hearts they know that they are not going to become scholars or inventors or industrialists or even ordinary good kind people. So they need a way to achieve that smugness for which the left is so justifiably famous. They need a way to achieve self-esteem without merit. Well, there is politics. In an egalitarian world everything will be controlled by politics, and politics requires no merit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest productive force is human selfishness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15894]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest productive force is human selfishness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . make the abhorrent eye Roll back and close. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . make the abhorrent eye Roll back and close.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55815]]></link><description><![CDATA[This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands,— This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England. -King Richard II.

I promise thee, Christ will not hear their excuse; for He himself suffered harm for our sakes, and for our salvation was put to extreme death. I wis, if it had pleased Him, He might have saved us and never felt pain; but in suffering pains and death He did give us example, and teach us how we should do one for another, as He did for us all; for, as He saith himself, "he that will be mine, let him deny himself, and follow me, in bearing my cross and suffering my pains."
