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[Let sleep itself be an exercise in piety, for such as our life and conduct have been, so also of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let sleep itself be an exercise in piety, for such as our life and conduct have been, so also of necessity will be our dreams.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is so much the first among equals of that world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40288]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is so much the first among equals of that world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best plan is, as the common proverb has it, to profit by the folly of others ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48344]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best plan is, as the common proverb has it, to profit by the folly of others]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, I'll repent, and that suddenly, while I am in some liking. I shall be out of heart shortly, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, I'll repent, and that suddenly, while I am in some liking. I shall be out of heart shortly, and then I shall have no strength to repent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a loaded field.
