Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Dumont actor was considered to be too stilted - the way we Dumont actors used to speak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40636]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Dumont actor was considered to be too stilted - the way we Dumont actors used to speak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want what I am saying to sound like a prophecy or anything like an analysis of modern society... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42626]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't want what I am saying to sound like a prophecy or anything like an analysis of modern society... these are only feelings I have, and I am the least speculative man on earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5975]]></link><description><![CDATA[A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children's speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie.
