When this particular neurosis becomes inconvenient to the government, what is to hinder the government from proceeding to 'cure' It? Such 'cure' will , of course, be compulsory; but under the humanitarian theory it will not be called by the shocking name of Persecution. No one will blame us for being Christians, no one will hate us, no one revile us. The new Nero will approach us with the silky manners of a doctor, and though all will be in fact {compulsory}, all will go on within the unemotional therapeutic sphere where words like 'right' and 'wrong' , or 'freedom' and 'slavery' are never heard. And thus when the command is given, every prominent Christian in the land may vanish overnight into Institutions for the Treatment of the Ideologically Unsound, and it will rest with the expert gaolers to when (if ever) they are to emerge. But it will not be persecution. Even if the treatment is painful, even if it is life-long, even if if it is fatal, that will be only a regrettable accident, the intention was purely therapeutic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To what fortuitous occurrence do we not owe every pleasure and convenience of our lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8710]]></link><description><![CDATA[To what fortuitous occurrence do we not owe every pleasure and convenience of our lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is good news for taxpayers and the states.

It is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. It is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. Ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. Science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truth, of course, is that a billion falsehoods told a billion times by a billion people are still false. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59792]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truth, of course, is that a billion falsehoods told a billion times by a billion people are still false.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65572]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because of our own innate desire to always do better, to overcome new challenges, to self-actualize.
