We are afraid of the jeer about "pie in the sky", and of being told that we are trying to "escape" from the duty of making a happy world here and now, into dreams of a better world elsewhere.

If there is, then this doctrine, like any other, must be faced, whether it is useful at political meetings or no.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They can't fire me because my family buys too many tickets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57632]]></link><description><![CDATA[They can't fire me because my family buys too many tickets.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's such an enormous job.

This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means of great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head, that softness and idleness were to be avoided, that self-denial was a part of Christianity...
