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[Power is not alluring to pure minds ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47920]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power is not alluring to pure minds]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such comfort as do lusty young men feel When well-apparelled April on the heel  Of limping Winter treads, even ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such comfort as do lusty young men feel When well-apparelled April on the heel  Of limping Winter treads, even such delight   Among fresh fennel buds shall you this night    Inherit at my house.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like to be beholden to the great metropolitan English speech, the sea which receives tributaries from every region under ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53007]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like to be beholden to the great metropolitan English speech, the sea which receives tributaries from every region under heaven.
