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[Pride in their port, defiance in their eye, I see the lords of humankind pass by. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48196]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride in their port, defiance in their eye, I see the lords of humankind pass by.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[rnAll my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64651]]></link><description><![CDATA[rnAll my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.rnAbraham LincolnrnNature, Mind, ThoughtrnI destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.rnAbraham LincolnrnFriends, DestroyrnI'm a slow walker, but I never walk back.rnAbraham LincolnrnBack, Walk, SlowrnI do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20432]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5189</guid></item></channel></rss>
