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[There are some days I practice positive thinking, and other days I'm not positive I am thinking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59160]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are some days I practice positive thinking, and other days I'm not positive I am thinking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Can you do addition?" the White Queen asked.

I do not pretend to understand the ways of God any more than the next man; but it is surely more fitting as well as more sensible for us to study what God does do and what He does not do as He works in and through the complex fabric of this disintegrated world, than to postulate what we think God ought to do and then feel demoralized and bitterly disappointed because He fails to fulfil what we expect of Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64873]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the Lord judge the criminals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the Lord judge the criminals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by silence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36448]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by silence]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no private life which has not been determined by a wider public life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48273]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no private life which has not been determined by a wider public life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61463]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Karma-yoga is a supreme secret indeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62520]]></link><description><![CDATA[Karma-yoga is a supreme secret indeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The smallest deed is better than the greatest intention. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22938]]></link><description><![CDATA[The smallest deed is better than the greatest intention.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should wait patiently until tomorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28841]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should wait patiently until tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bomb that fell on Hiroshima fell on America too.
