There is no telling to what extremes of cruelty and ruthlessness a man will go when he is freed from the fears, hesitations, doubts and the vague stirrings of decency that go with individual judgement. When we lose our individual independence in the corporateness of a mass movement, we find a new freedom- freedom to hate, bully, lie, torture, murder and betray without shame and remorse. Herein undoubtedly lies part of the attractiveness of a mass movement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wrapped the world around my fingers, taking control through the electron and the baud, burned your bridges and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30139]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wrapped the world around my fingers, taking control through the electron and the baud, burned your bridges and the protocols.

For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tyrant, step from the throne, and give place to thy master. [Fr., Tyran, descends du trone et fais place a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tyrant, step from the throne, and give place to thy master. [Fr., Tyran, descends du trone et fais place a ton maitre.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will swim without cork (without help). [Lat., Nabis sine cortice.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19163]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will swim without cork (without help). [Lat., Nabis sine cortice.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15897]]></link><description><![CDATA[The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sad thing in life is that sometimes you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53259]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sad thing in life is that sometimes you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be and you just have to let go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hanging and wiving goes by destiny. -The Merchant of Venice.
