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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live each day the fullest you can, not guaranteeing there'll be a tomorrow, not dwelling endlessly on yesterday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live each day the fullest you can, not guaranteeing there'll be a tomorrow, not dwelling endlessly on yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was deeply and fundamentally Irish.
