For where unification has been able to establish unity of ideas it has usually ended in uniformity, paralysing the growth of new ideas. And where the unification has merely brought about an artificial or imposed unity, its irksomeness has led through discord to disruption.Vitality springs from diversity- which makes for real progress so long as there is mutual toleration, based on the recognition that worse may come from an attempt to suppress differences than from acceptance of them. For this reason, the kind of peace that makes progress possible is best assured by the mutual checks created by a balance of forces- alike in the sphere of internal politics and of international relations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All wealth is the product of labor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23916]]></link><description><![CDATA[All wealth is the product of labor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we do meet again, we'll smile indeed; If not, 'tis true this parting was well made. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45573]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we do meet again, we'll smile indeed; If not, 'tis true this parting was well made.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes: Nothing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56103]]></link><description><![CDATA[Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes: Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. -The Tempest.

It is here to be observed that the term "freedom" is ambiguous in common usage. It is sometimes used to imply that a man can do just as he likes, undetermined by any external force. To this the determinist replies that as a matter of fact this freedom is so limited by the laws which condition man's empirical existence as to be illusory. The rejoinder from the advocates of free will is that no external force can determine a man's moral conduct (and with mere automatism we are not concerned), unless it is presented in consciousness, and that in being so presented it becomes a desire, a temptation, or a motive. In suffering himself to be determined by these, the man is not submitting to external control, but to something which he has already made a part of himself, for good or ill. When, however, we have said that, we are faced with a further problem. Not all that is desired is desirable, and in being moved by my immediate desire I may be balking myself of that ultimate satisfaction which is the real object of all effort. If that is so, then to "do as I like" may well be no freedom at all. There is a law of our being which forbids satisfaction to be found along that line, as it is written, "He gave them their desire, and sent leanness into their souls." (Ps. 106:15) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.
