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.

That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And in the years he reigned; through all the country wide, There was no cause for weeping, save when the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54443]]></link><description><![CDATA[And in the years he reigned; through all the country wide, There was no cause for weeping, save when the good man died.  [Fr., Ce n'est que lorsqu'il expira   Que le peuple, qui l'enterra pleura.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beside the brook and on the umbered meadow, Where yellow fern-tufts fleck the faded ground,  With folded lids beneath ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17361]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beside the brook and on the umbered meadow, Where yellow fern-tufts fleck the faded ground,  With folded lids beneath their palmy shadow   The gentian nods in dewy slumbers bound.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My education was interrupted only by my schooling ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13362]]></link><description><![CDATA[My education was interrupted only by my schooling]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11941]]></link><description><![CDATA[About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cow is nothing but a machine which makes grass fit for us people to eat ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26177]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cow is nothing but a machine which makes grass fit for us people to eat]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lecturer should give the audience full reason to believe that all his powers have been exerted for their pleasure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13529]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lecturer should give the audience full reason to believe that all his powers have been exerted for their pleasure and instruction. -Michael Faraday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before marriage a man yearns for a woman.
