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[He grieves more than is necessary who grieves before any cause for sorrow has arisen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51147]]></link><description><![CDATA[He grieves more than is necessary who grieves before any cause for sorrow has arisen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Luck is a crossroad where preparation and opportunity meet ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48126]]></link><description><![CDATA[Luck is a crossroad where preparation and opportunity meet]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions.

In these Books we shall find the father from whom, the son by whom, and the holy Ghost in whom all things have their being and keeping up, and these three persons to be but one God, and one substance.   Read [Holy Scripture] humbly with a meek and lowly heart, to the intent you may glorify God, and not your self, with the knowledge of it: and read it not without daily praying to God, that he would direct your reading to good effect: and take upon you to expound it no further than you can plainly understand it. For (as Saint Augustine says) the knowledge of holy Scripture is a great, large, and a high place, but the door is very low, so that the high & arrogant man cannot run in: but he must stoop low, and humble himself, that shall enter into it... The humble man may search any truth boldly in the Scripture, without any danger of error. (Continued tomorrow)   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 4, 2001 Commemoration of Felix, Bishop, Apostle to the East Angles, 647 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   Scripture in some places is easy, and in some places hard to be understood. This have I said, as touching the fear to read, through ignorance of the person. And concerning the hardness of Scripture, he that is so weak that he is not able to [eat] strong meat, yet he may suck the sweet and tender milk, and defer the rest, until he wax stronger, and come to more knowledge. For God receives the learned and unlearned, and casts away none, but [does not discriminate]. And the Scripture is full as well of low valleys, plain ways, and easy for every man to use, and to walk in: as also of high hills & mountains, which few men can climb unto.   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 5, 2001 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   We are to believe and follow Christ in all things, including his words about Scripture. And this means that Scripture is to be for us what it was to him: the unique, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God, and not merely a human testimony to Christ, however carefully guided and preserved by God. If the Bible is less than this to us, we are not fully Christ's disciples.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think too many people found that by waiting, maybe the prime locations they wanted were harder to find. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33869]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think too many people found that by waiting, maybe the prime locations they wanted were harder to find.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lies that build are better than truths that destroy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24795]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lies that build are better than truths that destroy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which makes the vanity of others unbearable to us is that which wounds our own. [Fr., Ce qui nous ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60381]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which makes the vanity of others unbearable to us is that which wounds our own. [Fr., Ce qui nous rend la vanite des autres insupportable, c'est qu'elle blesse la notre.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26145]]></link><description><![CDATA[A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quality of mercy is not strain'd; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath.
