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[Make fair agreements and stick to them ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make fair agreements and stick to them]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sweet voice, a little indistinct and muffled, which caresses and does not thrill; an utterance which glides on without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60922]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sweet voice, a little indistinct and muffled, which caresses and does not thrill; an utterance which glides on without emphasis, and lays stress on what is deeply felt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science when well digested is nothing but good sense and reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science when well digested is nothing but good sense and reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions who, on the dawn of victory, stopped to rest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19277]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions who, on the dawn of victory, stopped to rest and resting died.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's sad because it came back to haunt me this year, ...

Our environment itself -- our home and our job -- is the medium through which we experience His moulding action and His besetting love. It is not Christian to try to get out of our frame, or to separate our outward life from our life of prayer, since both are the creation of one Charity. The third-rate little town in the hills, with its limited social contacts and monotonous manual work, reproves us when we begin to fuss about our opportunities and our score. And this quality of quietness, ordinariness, simplicity, with which the saving action of God enters history, endures from the beginning to the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition is pitiless.
