maxim

Nobody knows anything, in the famous maxim of Hollywood screenwriter William Goldman.

“He was so dedicated. He had all of these maxims, like ‘obstacles in the way become the way forward.’

Militant Irish republicans had been paying close attention to Carson’s tactics — which anticipated Mao Zedong’s maxim about the source of political power — and would eagerly emulate his example in the years ahead.

It is a seething tapestry of social media attacks, conspiracies, Bible quotes and name-calling under the maxim that all politics is local, if viscerally so.
