Today's Maxwell Quote

From Look Back at Sodom (1975), 33:
This small volume is dedicated to the decent people of the earth everywhere who have--
  • learned from human experience what happens when badness becomes a way of life . . .
  • shunned cleverness in favor of honesty . . .
  • developed a deep and practical morality that flashes warnings to them when something, or someone, is phony or bad . . .
  • been content to go unheralded, to make few demands of governments, and to abide (up to a point) the actions of others, thus making freedom possible for all, including the clever and the bad!
