Imagine an industry that consistently fails to do what it sets out to do. a factory where this year's product is invariably sleazier than last year's but, nevertheless, better than next year's. Imagine a corporation whose executives are always spending vast sums of money on studies designed to discover just what it is they are supposed to do and then vaster sums for further studies on just how to do it. Imagine a plant devoted to the manufacture of factory seconds to be sold at a loss. Imagine a producer of vacuum cleaners that rarely work hiring whole platoons of engineers who will, in time, report that it is, in fact, true that the vacuum cleaners rarely really work, and who will, for a larger fee, be glad to find out why, if that's possible. If you discover some such outfit, don't invest in it. Unfortunately, we are all required to invest in public education.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He fashioned hell for the inquisitive. [Lat., Curiosis fabricavit inferos.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19117]]></link><description><![CDATA[He fashioned hell for the inquisitive. [Lat., Curiosis fabricavit inferos.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the weight of jewel or plate, Or the fondle of silk or fur;  "Tis the spirit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17433]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the weight of jewel or plate, Or the fondle of silk or fur;  "Tis the spirit in which the gift is rich,   As the gifts of the Wise Ones were,    And we are not told whose gift was gold,     Or whose was the gift of myrrh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good man is the friend of all living things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25422]]></link><description><![CDATA[The good man is the friend of all living things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None are so fond of secrets as those who do not mean to keep them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17926]]></link><description><![CDATA[None are so fond of secrets as those who do not mean to keep them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe our disposition program is tracking well as we have a number of properties under contract or letter of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34058]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe our disposition program is tracking well as we have a number of properties under contract or letter of intent to sell at this time.

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.
