If his atlas tells him the world is flat he will not sail near what he believes to be the edge of our planet for fear of falling off. If his maps include a fountain of eternal youth, a Ponce de Leon will go off in quest of it. If someone digs up yellow dirt that looks like gold, he will for a time act exactly as if he has found gold. The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do. It does not determine what they will achieve. It determines their effort, their feelings, their hopes, not their accomplishments and results.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect.

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://maxioms.com/maxiom/8555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No price is set on the lavish summer; June may be had by the poorest comer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23567]]></link><description><![CDATA[No price is set on the lavish summer; June may be had by the poorest comer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27586]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This victory will be your I ruin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50788]]></link><description><![CDATA[This victory will be your I ruin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23669]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate flowers -- I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16279]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hate flowers -- I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise in heart are called discerning,    and pleasant words promote instruction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33435]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise in heart are called discerning,    and pleasant words promote instruction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33435</guid></item></channel></rss>
