Now, once again may I ask you the question, Is the Church cruel when she points this out, and demands that men should see it and take account of it in all the arrangements of this life? Surely the cruelty lies with those who talk glibly about the brotherhood of man, and superficially about peace, and romantically about marriage, as though the disturbances in Church and state and family were introduced into human life by a few evil-minded men. This is the real cruelty. How will you face up later to your married life, to your administration of affairs, to your life in the Church, in fact to any real part of your lives, if you are taught to think that your neighbour will or ought to agree with you in all points, will accept your solutions of his problems, will in fact be a reflection of your image? Once we get this stuff and nonsense into our heads, we shall never be able to live with anyone or with any group of men. We shall sulk when we are crossed, or run away from the Other -- for Other they are. We shall certainly remove ourselves from the Church when we find it full of friction and yet proclaiming the love of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Play is the beginning of knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46676]]></link><description><![CDATA[Play is the beginning of knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some pray to marry the man they love, my prayer will somewhat vary; I humbly pray to Heaven above that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20202]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some pray to marry the man they love, my prayer will somewhat vary; I humbly pray to Heaven above that I love the man I marry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jealousy lives upon doubts.
