Such 'knowledge' is so thoroughly a part of our worldview that it simply would not occur to most people to question it. Yet underneath this reality is another, subinstitutional reality in which very different responses are simply acted out. This is the reality in which everyone, until very recently, lived. -David Schwartz.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I confess that there are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve, but I am ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9917]]></link><description><![CDATA[I confess that there are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve, but I am not sure I shall never approve them.

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[Long ailments wear out pain, and long hopes, joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45384]]></link><description><![CDATA[Long ailments wear out pain, and long hopes, joy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything you are against weakens you.

You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item></channel></rss>
