Yet if our world were truly Christian, the change might be a reason for rejoicing. We no longer need our families -- we are therefore free to love them with complete unselfishness. Now at last it is possible to honour our parents genuinely, because they no longer have the power to kill us if we don't. The old sort of honour was sometimes an ugly sham: the son who respects Father only out of fear of punishment is not much of a son, just as the Christian who worships God only out of fear of hell is precious little of a Christian. But the new sort of honour can be a beautiful and holy thing. There are many sweet and sane families bound together by love; there are plenty of experts who remind us that only love can make the modern family work at all. And one must admit that there are plenty of parents very willing to be honoured. The catch is that not so many of them are willing to be honourable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O little Force that in your agony Stood fast while England girt her armour on,  Held high our honour ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57131]]></link><description><![CDATA[O little Force that in your agony Stood fast while England girt her armour on,  Held high our honour in your wounded hands,   Carried our honour safe with bleeding feet--    We have no glory great enough for you,     The very soul of Britain keeps your day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one can keep a mask on long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51173]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one can keep a mask on long.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion consists of a set of things which the average man thinks he believes and wishes he was certain ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion consists of a set of things which the average man thinks he believes and wishes he was certain]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the first time the U.S. bond market has not been leading other bond markets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28438]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the first time the U.S. bond market has not been leading other bond markets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by the tenderness of the best hearts ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51950]]></link><description><![CDATA[The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by the tenderness of the best hearts]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brooke Foss Westcott, Bishop of Durham, Teacher, 1901  As a good Christian should consider every place as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brooke Foss Westcott, Bishop of Durham, Teacher, 1901  As a good Christian should consider every place as holy, because God is there, so he should look upon every part of his life as a matter of holiness, because it is offered unto God.
