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[It is worse than a crime: it is a mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53278]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is worse than a crime: it is a mistake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a nation gives birth to a man who is able to produce a great thought, another is born who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/605]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a nation gives birth to a man who is able to produce a great thought, another is born who is able to understand and admire it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All our final decisions are made in a state of mind that is not going to last. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11617]]></link><description><![CDATA[All our final decisions are made in a state of mind that is not going to last.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are hard to get because not only were there four major hurricanes last year, but also winter storms this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31548]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are hard to get because not only were there four major hurricanes last year, but also winter storms this year caused great demand across the country.

The deep, seemingly indestructible awareness of something like homesickness for God is the natural basis for believing in some kind of "fall" -- we seem to remember something better and to be possessed to recapture it. There appears to be a gap, a chasm, between God and us which must be crossed if we are to be in relationship with him. We know that our own wrongdoing can widen the chasm: we are not so sure what will close it. Yet our first great need is not for a set of rules about how to be good: it is for something to bridge that yawning canyon between us and the God we dimly seem to remember, but cannot entirely forget.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Send not a Catt for Lard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49737]]></link><description><![CDATA[Send not a Catt for Lard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would be very happy to see 3.5 billion humans wiped out from the face of the earth within the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38788]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would be very happy to see 3.5 billion humans wiped out from the face of the earth within the next 150 or 200 years and I am quite prepared to go myself with this majority ...

He is oppressed by a sense of impotence in the grasp of merciless forces which he can neither overcome nor escape. These forces may be Frankenstein monsters of man's own creation, or they may be horrors outside his conscious control; either way, he is intimidated by the vastness of those fateful currents which threaten to sweep him on to destruction, whether he will or no. And to modern man in his frustration and despair, the full-orbed gospel of Christ, as Paul presents it to the Colossians, is the one message of hope. Christ crucified and risen is Lord of all; all the forces in the universe, well-disposed and ill-disposed, are subject to Him. To be united to Christ by faith is to throw off the thraldom of hostile powers, to enjoy perfect freedom, to gain the mastery over the dominion of evil -- because Christ's victory is ours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ISM manufacturing number was really stronger than expected.
