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[If education, culture, the higher life were shining things to be worshiped from afar, he had still a means left ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42044]]></link><description><![CDATA[If education, culture, the higher life were shining things to be worshiped from afar, he had still a means left whereby he could draw one step nearer to them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laughter is much more important than applause.

If I were to give it to you, you would think yourself of some importance, you would fancy that you had gained something very great. Because you asked for it, you have it. But take care to make good use of it. Before you had it, you were humble; now that you have begun to be rich you despise the poor. What kind of a good is that which only makes you worse? For worse you are, since you were bad already. And that it would make you worse you knew not; hence you asked it of Me. I gave it to you, and I proved you; you have found -- and you have found out! Ask of Me better things than these, greater things than these. Ask of Me spiritual things. Ask of Me Myself!".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every child is an artist.

'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway, It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's, When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy. -The Merchant of Venice. Act iv. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just want to tell stories and this is the story I've wanted to tell for the past six years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32730]]></link><description><![CDATA[I just want to tell stories and this is the story I've wanted to tell for the past six years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try to keep order and security so that there will not be any negative side effects.
