This terrible subject would require a book to itself. Here it will be enough to say that the Heavenly Society is also an earthly society. Our (merely natural) patriotism towards the latter can very easily borrow the transcendent claims of the former and use them to justify the most abominable actions. If ever the book which I am not going to write is written, it must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery. Large areas of "the World" will not hear us till we have publicly disowned much of our past. Why should they? We have shouted the name of Christ and enacted the service of Moloch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not trying to prove anybody wrong, I'm just trying to prove something to myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2284]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not trying to prove anybody wrong, I'm just trying to prove something to myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4701]]></link><description><![CDATA[One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18565]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chicago ain't no sissy town. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5869]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chicago ain't no sissy town.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Class is the impartial, consistent display of emotional integrity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Class is the impartial, consistent display of emotional integrity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great problem with doing that in real time is people live in real time and almost everybody's default forecasting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37048]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great problem with doing that in real time is people live in real time and almost everybody's default forecasting method is to extrapolate the recent past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We used to see a very large growth in our ground business, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38471]]></link><description><![CDATA[We used to see a very large growth in our ground business,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absurdity.
