This terrible subject would require a book to itself. Here it will be enough to say that the Heavenly Society is also an earthly society. Our (merely natural) patriotism towards the latter can very easily borrow the transcendent claims of the former and use them to justify the most abominable actions. If ever the book which I am not going to write is written, it must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery. Large areas of "the World" will not hear us till we have publicly disowned much of our past. Why should they? We have shouted the name of Christ and enacted the service of Moloch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evolution ever climbing after some ideal good And Reversion ever dragging Evolution in the mud. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evolution ever climbing after some ideal good And Reversion ever dragging Evolution in the mud.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is so made that he can only find relaxation from one kind of labour by taking up another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53436]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is so made that he can only find relaxation from one kind of labour by taking up another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just as it is true that a stream cannot rise above its source, so it is true that a national ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just as it is true that a stream cannot rise above its source, so it is true that a national literature cannot rise above the moral level of the social conditions of the people from whom it derives its inspiration.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Change of weather is the discourse of fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Change of weather is the discourse of fools.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: Initiative, Imagination, Individuality and ;Independence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5661]]></link><description><![CDATA[The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: Initiative, Imagination, Individuality and ;Independence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good hay, sweet hay, hath no fellow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good hay, sweet hay, hath no fellow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basically, I stole my little brother's toys and strapped them to the hood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30032]]></link><description><![CDATA[Basically, I stole my little brother's toys and strapped them to the hood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14300]]></link><description><![CDATA[States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world.
