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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Socrates said he was not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Socrates said he was not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61803]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that any man's life will be filled with constant and unexpected encouragement, if he makes up his mind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13773]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that any man's life will be filled with constant and unexpected encouragement, if he makes up his mind to do his level best each day, and as nearly as possible reaching the high water mark of pure and useful living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why does the dead ball moon shining withstolen light have more power onearth than the vastly larger self luminescent stars?ProximitySai ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44741]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why does the dead ball moon shining withstolen light have more power onearth than the vastly larger self luminescent stars?ProximitySai Babahttp://www.vahini.org/downloads.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[B.C.
