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.

He has called some to be "player-coaches" ... to equip the laity for the ministry they are to fulfill. This equipping ministry is of unique importance. One is appointed to this ministry by the Holy Spirit; therefore it must be undertaken with utmost seriousness. This is a radical departure from the traditional understanding of the roles of the laity and the clergy. The laity had the idea that they were already committed to a "full-time" vocation in the secular world, [and] thus they did not have time -- at least, much time -- to do God's work. Therefore they contributed money to "free" the clergy to have the time needed to fulfill God's ministry. This view is rank heresy. If we follow this pattern, we may continue to do God's work until the Lord comes again and never fulfill God's purpose as it ought to be done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Patrick, Bishop of Armagh, Missionary, Patron of Ireland, c.460  Without realizing what was happening, most of us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8040]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Patrick, Bishop of Armagh, Missionary, Patron of Ireland, c.460  Without realizing what was happening, most of us gradually came to take for granted the premises underlying the philosophy of optimism. We proceeded to live these propositions, though we would not have stated them as blandly as I set them forth here:   Man is inherently good.  Individual man can carve out his own salvation with the help of education and society through progressively better government.  Reality and values worth searching for lie in the material world that science is steadily teaching us to analyze, catalogue, and measure. While we do not deny the existence of inner values, we relegate them to second place.  The purpose of life is happiness, [which] we define in terms of enjoyable activity, friends, and the accumulation of material objects.  The pain and evil of life -- such as ignorance, poverty, selfishness, hatred, greed, lust for power -- are caused by factors in the external world; therefore, the cure lies in the reforming of human institutions and the bettering of environmental conditions.  As science and technology remove poverty and lift from us the burden of physical existence, we shall automatically become finer persons, seeing for ourselves the value of living the Golden Rule.  In time, the rest of the world will appreciate the demonstration that the American way of life is best. They will then seek for themselves the good life of freedom and prosperity. This will be the greatest impetus toward an end of global conflict.  The way to get along with people is to beware of religious dictums and dogma. The ideal is to be a nice person and to live by the Creed of Tolerance. Thus we offend few people. We live and let live. This is the American Way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let all live as they would die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49594]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let all live as they would die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people do not receive nearly enough appreciation.
