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[One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16739]]></link><description><![CDATA[One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things they need no longer mention.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our purpose is to offer information to those who want it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35643]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our purpose is to offer information to those who want it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's what I do for a living.

Theday being intensely hot, and the sun shining in its strength, theTraveler stopped to rest, and sought shelter from the heat underthe Shadow of the Ass. As this afforded only protection for one,and as the Traveler and the owner of the Ass both claimed it, aviolent dispute arose between them as to which of them had theright to the Shadow. The owner maintained that he had let theAss only, and not his Shadow. The Traveler asserted that he had,with the hire of the Ass, hired his Shadow also. The quarrelproceeded from words to blows, and while the men fought, the Assgalloped off. In quarreling about the shadow we often lose the substance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dubito ergo cogito; cogito ergo sum.(I doubt, therefore I think; I think therefore I am) ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dubito ergo cogito; cogito ergo sum.(I doubt, therefore I think; I think therefore I am)]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eagles soar, but weasels never get sucked into jet engines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56910]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eagles soar, but weasels never get sucked into jet engines.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We love because it's the only true adventure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2138]]></link><description><![CDATA[We love because it's the only true adventure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays, And confident to-morrows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51861]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays, And confident to-morrows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37966]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To speak and to speak well, are two things.

Sin for him is not a moral failure; it is not even disobedience. Disobedience is a consequence but not the cause. The cause is: turning away from God, and from God as the highest good, as the love with which God loves Himself, through us. For this reason, since sin has this character -- if you say "sins", it is easily dissolved into moral sins; but sin is first of all basically the power of turning away from God. For this very reason, no moral remedy is possible. Only one remedy is possible: return to God. But this of course is possible only in the power of God, and this power is lost. This is the state of man under the conditions of existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear has many eyes. [Sp., El miedo tiene muchos ojos.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15503]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear has many eyes. [Sp., El miedo tiene muchos ojos.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who hear not the music think the dancers mad ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11019]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who hear not the music think the dancers mad]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wasn’t really asleep I was just meditating on unconsciousness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56603]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wasn’t really asleep I was just meditating on unconsciousness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit.
