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[We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a love of reading. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4491]]></link><description><![CDATA[We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a love of reading.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beneath the rule of men entirely great, / The pen is mightier than the sword. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25331]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beneath the rule of men entirely great, / The pen is mightier than the sword.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a big urn in the billiard room and it was black, but I wondered if it was brass. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30141]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a big urn in the billiard room and it was black, but I wondered if it was brass.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59785]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons that you cannot see with the naked eye unless ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13696]]></link><description><![CDATA[Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons that you cannot see with the naked eye unless you have been drinking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[--To live On means not yours--be brave in silks and laces,  Gallant in steeds; splendid in banquets; all  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59129]]></link><description><![CDATA[--To live On means not yours--be brave in silks and laces,  Gallant in steeds; splendid in banquets; all   Not yours.
