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[Fast closed with double grills And triple gates--the cell  To wicked souls is hell;   But to a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48265]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fast closed with double grills And triple gates--the cell  To wicked souls is hell;   But to a mind that's innocent    'Tis only iron, wood and stone.     [Fr., Doubles grilles a gros cloux,      Triples portes, forts verroux,       Aux ames vraiment mechantes        Vous representez l'enfer;         Mais aux ames innocentes          Vous n'etes que du bois, des pierres, du fer.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The little sister of the Poor . . . .  The Poor, and their concerns, she has   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61411]]></link><description><![CDATA[The little sister of the Poor . . . .  The Poor, and their concerns, she has   Monopolized, because of which    It falls to me to labor as     A Little Brother of the Rich.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child's life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62815]]></link><description><![CDATA[A child's life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winter is coming back in a very big way, and you need to be prepared for an extended period of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Winter is coming back in a very big way, and you need to be prepared for an extended period of very cold weather.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If but a dozen French Were there in arms, they would be as a call  To train ten thousand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56718]]></link><description><![CDATA[If but a dozen French Were there in arms, they would be as a call  To train ten thousand English to their side,   Or as a little snow, tumbled about,    Anon becomes a mountain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth. -Peter Ustinov. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45520]]></link><description><![CDATA[Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth. -Peter Ustinov.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Devil himself is good, when he is pleased. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12182]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Devil himself is good, when he is pleased.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You aspire to great things?
