It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness.The remarkable thing is that the cessation of the inner dialogue marks also the end of our concern with the world around us.

The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men's vices or men's stupidity? By catering to fools, in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers your scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment's or a penny's worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame. Then you'll scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred of money?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they can stay where they are and can have air and water, (then) stay where they are.

It is probably one of the essential conditions for the preservation of such a society that we do not countenance envy, not sanction its demands by camouflaging it as social justice, but treat it, in the words of John Stuart Mill, as "the most anti-social and evil of all passions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few cases of eyestrain have been developed by looking on the bright side of things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few cases of eyestrain have been developed by looking on the bright side of things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cock up your beaver. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48693]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cock up your beaver.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O God!
