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[Kiss till the cows come home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23814]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kiss till the cows come home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women know The way to rear up children (to be just);  They know a simple, merry, tender knack  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5896]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women know The way to rear up children (to be just);  They know a simple, merry, tender knack   Of tying sashes, fitting baby-shoes,    And stringing pretty words that make no sense,     And kissing full sense into empty words;      Which things are corals to cut life upon,       Although such trifles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no reason we're out on the street today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29618]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no reason we're out on the street today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A few days ago some thought they were going to wipe us off the map.

It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Understanding Religion is kind of like understanding a manual in German.

David Bronnert, who was quoted in CQOD at the beginning of the month, has kindly sent me the following meditation taken from the church magazine of St. John's Church, Southall, in London, where he serves as vicar, living out, under God, the previous quotation he wrote thirty years ago. I am grateful to brother David for sending me this timely teaching so that I could present it to you. The light shines in the darkness   Candles are always popular for giving a warm romantic glow and this time of year they are to be seen on many different occasions. Of course a candle is easy to blow out! So much so that its flickering light was chosen by Shakespeare as a picture of the transitory nature of life. Out out brief candle!   Darkness is a reminder of evil, for it is in the darkness that people get lost, stumble and fall. It is in the darkness that power is misused, corruption reigns and evil is done. It is easy to imagine that in the end evil will triumph and the light will disappear. Situations change. Familiar landmarks -- like this magazine! -- disappear. There is the unrelenting pressure of a vanity fair society. The candle burns down and gives a thin wisp of smoke before going out.   But there are also the special party candles that keep bursting back into life. They are a much better picture of the light of the gospel! For though they have been numerous attempts down the centuries to extinguish the light, it has kept on bursting back into flame.   The light of Christ keeps on shining. New ways of sharing the good news come along. New believers are attracted to his light. Sleepy Christians are re-awakened. Fresh discoveries give even more confidence in the truth of the Bible.   The light keeps on shining in the darkness. It is a statement and a promise at the same time. It is isn't that once the light shone, but rather, that in the present it shines, and it will do so in the future as well. For the light comes from the one who is, as well as who was, and is also the one who is to come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Corrupted freemen are the worst of slaves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Corrupted freemen are the worst of slaves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't take it personally.
