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[In the world of human thought generally, and in physical science particularly, the most important and fruitful concepts are those ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27663]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the world of human thought generally, and in physical science particularly, the most important and fruitful concepts are those to which it is impossible to attach a well-defined meaning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The self-sins... dwell too deep within us and are too much a part of our natures to come to our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7265]]></link><description><![CDATA[The self-sins... dwell too deep within us and are too much a part of our natures to come to our attention till the light of God is focused upon them. The grosser manifestations of these sins -- egotism, exhibitionism, self-promotion -- are strangely tolerated in Christian leaders, even in circles of impeccable orthodoxy. They are so much in evidence as actually, for many people, to become identified with the gospel. I trust it is not a cynical observation to say that they appear these days to be a requisite for popularity in some sections of the Church visible. Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Families with babies and families without are so sorry for each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Families with babies and families without are so sorry for each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My best birth control now is just to leave the lights on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4276]]></link><description><![CDATA[My best birth control now is just to leave the lights on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24455]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every quarrel begins in nothing and ends in a struggle for supremacy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every quarrel begins in nothing and ends in a struggle for supremacy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, brags of his substance: they are but beggars who can count their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9624]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, brags of his substance: they are but beggars who can count their worth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48303]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2191]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tradition does not mean that the living are dead, but that the dead are living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tradition does not mean that the living are dead, but that the dead are living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On Sundays, at the matin-chime, The Alpine peasants, two and three,  Climb up here to pray;   Burghers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54582]]></link><description><![CDATA[On Sundays, at the matin-chime, The Alpine peasants, two and three,  Climb up here to pray;   Burghers and dames, at summer's prime,    Ride out to church from Chamberry,     Dight with mantles gay,      But else it is a lonely time       Round the Church of Brou.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The (steam) sterilizers right now use 9,000 watts of electricity each, and these will be down to 1,500 watts apiece. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41822]]></link><description><![CDATA[The (steam) sterilizers right now use 9,000 watts of electricity each, and these will be down to 1,500 watts apiece.

For it is to this end that he brings his own body into subjection, that he may be able to serve others more sincerely and more freely... Thus it is impossible that he should take his ease in this life, and not work for the good of his neighbors, since he must needs speak, act, and converse among men, just as Christ... had His conversation among men... It is the part of a Christian to take care of his own body for the very purpose that by its soundness and wellbeing he may be enabled to labor... for the aid of those who are in want, that thus the stronger member may serve the weaker member, and we may be children of God, and busy for one another, bearing one another's burdens, and so fulfilling the law of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's not a lie, it's a terminological inexactitude.
