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[He was indeed the glass Wherein the noble youth did dress themselves. -King Henry IV.

It is often assumed that the Church exercises little such influence and ought to exercise none; it is further assumed that this assumption is self-evident and has always been made by reasonable men. As a matter of fact the assumption is entirely modern and unjustified.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A burnt child dreads the fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14728]]></link><description><![CDATA[A burnt child dreads the fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58347]]></link><description><![CDATA[The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you get to be thirty-five and your job still involves wearing a name tag, you've probably made a serious ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60904]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you get to be thirty-five and your job still involves wearing a name tag, you've probably made a serious vocational error.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prosperity makes few friends. [Fr., La proserite fait peu d'amis.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48498]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prosperity makes few friends. [Fr., La proserite fait peu d'amis.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our native land charms us with inexpressible sweetness, and never never allows us to forget that we belong to it. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45802]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our native land charms us with inexpressible sweetness, and never never allows us to forget that we belong to it. [Lat., Nescio qua natale solum dulcedine captos  Ducit, et immemores non sinit esse sui.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never follow the crowd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never follow the crowd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was co-ed.
