Yet if our world were truly Christian, the change might be a reason for rejoicing. We no longer need our families -- we are therefore free to love them with complete unselfishness. Now at last it is possible to honour our parents genuinely, because they no longer have the power to kill us if we don't. The old sort of honour was sometimes an ugly sham: the son who respects Father only out of fear of punishment is not much of a son, just as the Christian who worships God only out of fear of hell is precious little of a Christian. But the new sort of honour can be a beautiful and holy thing. There are many sweet and sane families bound together by love; there are plenty of experts who remind us that only love can make the modern family work at all. And one must admit that there are plenty of parents very willing to be honoured. The catch is that not so many of them are willing to be honourable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thunderstorm is God's way of saying you spend too much time in front of the computer ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9579]]></link><description><![CDATA[A thunderstorm is God's way of saying you spend too much time in front of the computer]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm the only person of distinction who has ever had a depression named for him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19496]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm the only person of distinction who has ever had a depression named for him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. . . . Speak what you think to-day in words ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9873]]></link><description><![CDATA[With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. . . . Speak what you think to-day in words as hard as cannon balls, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you said to-day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lull'd by soft zephyrs thro' the broken pane. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lull'd by soft zephyrs thro' the broken pane.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His spiritual life has been exaggerated by a chronic attack of mental gallstones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57412]]></link><description><![CDATA[His spiritual life has been exaggerated by a chronic attack of mental gallstones.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a penalty for trying to knockdown a cockpit door, but it's the peoplewho try to go from coach ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43011]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a penalty for trying to knockdown a cockpit door, but it's the peoplewho try to go from coach to 1st classthey really beat up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It probably occurred a while ago.
