There is no breaking through this law of our being. Every attempt to do so proves itself in experience to be futile. Hence we are in a more helpless state of bondage than that which materialistic determinism holds; for the tyrant is established within our own consciousness. One way, and one way only, out of this bondage remains. If we can discover how to make our own immediate desire, and the act of will springing out of it, accord with the supreme law of our being, then to "do as we like" will no longer be to run our heads against the stone wall of necessity which shuts us out from the heaven of satisfaction. For we shall only "like" doing what we "ought". This introduces a new sense of the word "freedom". It does not now mean freedom from restrains to follow our desires, but freedom from the tyranny of futile desires to follow what is really good. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Streak of silver sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13925]]></link><description><![CDATA[Streak of silver sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A watch is the most important piece of jewelry you can wear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41810]]></link><description><![CDATA[A watch is the most important piece of jewelry you can wear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The time to relax is when you don't have time for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22613]]></link><description><![CDATA[The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns--you shall not crucify mankind upon a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17767]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns--you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's definitely an element of pride there.

For if philosophers become kings or scientists commissars, they become politicians, and the powers given to the state are powers given to men who are rulers of states, men subject to all the limitations and temptations of their dangerous craft. Unless this is borne in mind, there will be a dangerous optimistic tendency to sweep aside doubts and fears as irrelevant, since, in the state that the projectors have in mind, power will be exercised by men of a wisdom and degree of moral virtue that we have not yet seen. It won't.
