And when they are wicked, the Humanitarian theory of punishment will put in their hands a finer instrument of tyranny than wickedness ever had before. For if crime and disease are to be regarded as the same thing, it follows that any state of mind which our masters choose to call 'disease' can be treated as crime, and compulsorily cured. It will be vain to plead that states of mind which displease the government need not always involve moral turpitude and do not therefore always deserve forfeiture of liberty. For our masters will not be using the concepts of Desert and Punishment but those of disease and cure. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fate leads the willing and drags along the unwilling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15401]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fate leads the willing and drags along the unwilling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The awareness of our own strength makes us modest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3596]]></link><description><![CDATA[The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66633]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything in excess is opposed to nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything in excess is opposed to nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mountain is passed; now we shall get on better. [Fr., La montagne est passee; nous irons mieux.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24117]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mountain is passed; now we shall get on better. [Fr., La montagne est passee; nous irons mieux.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning is always rebellion...
