There is no telling to what extremes of cruelty and ruthlessness a man will go when he is freed from the fears, hesitations, doubts and the vague stirrings of decency that go with individual judgement. When we lose our individual independence in the corporateness of a mass movement, we find a new freedom- freedom to hate, bully, lie, torture, murder and betray without shame and remorse. Herein undoubtedly lies part of the attractiveness of a mass movement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A slight touch of friendly malice and amusement towards those we love keeps our affections for them from turning flat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1630]]></link><description><![CDATA[A slight touch of friendly malice and amusement towards those we love keeps our affections for them from turning flat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One fourth of the money stays here in Zanesville, going to Christ Table and the Salvation Army.

Vexed by an evil spirit, like the Gadarene swine and other critics. Obsession was once more common than it is now. Arasthus tells of a peasant who was occupied by a different devil for every day in the week, and on Sundays by two. They were frequently seen, always walking in his shadow, when he had one, but were finally driven away by the village notary, a holy man; but they took the peasant with them, for he vanished utterly.
