Secular education seems to me intellectually clean and comprehensible. Moral instruction seems to me unclean, intolerable; I would destroy it with fire. Teaching the Old Testament by itself means teaching ancient Hebrew ethics, which are simple, barbaric rudimentary, and, to a Christian, unsatisfying. Teaching moral instruction means teaching modern London, Birmingham and Boston ethics, which are not barbaric and rudimentary, but are corrupt, hysterical and crawling with worms, and which are to a Christian, not unsatisfying but detestable. The old Jew who says that you must fight only for your tribe is inadequate; but the modern prig who says you must never fight for anything is substantially and specifically immoral. I know quite well, of course, that the unreligious ethics suggested for modern schools do not verbally assert these things; they only talk about peaceful reform, true Christianity, and the importance of Count Tolstoy. It is all a matter of tone and implication--but then, so is all teaching. Education is implication. It is not the things you say which children respect; when you say things, they very commonly laugh and do the opposite. It is the things you assume that really sink into them. It is the things you forget even to teach that they learn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind in never weary;  The vine still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52936]]></link><description><![CDATA[The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind in never weary;  The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,   But at every gust the dead leaves fall,    And the day is dark and dreary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27581]]></link><description><![CDATA[Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730  It is sufficient to know in the general that our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730  It is sufficient to know in the general that our employment [in Paradise] shall be our unspeakable pleasure and every way suitable to the glory and happiness of that state, and as much above the noblest and most delightful employments of this world as the perfection of our bodies and the power of our souls shall then be above what they now are in this world.

But it is rather the giving up of self into the hands of God, without stint and without reserve, and letting Him set the work. It is the recognition of the fact that God has many kinds of work to be done, and that the best paid are not always the most honourable. To enter or exercise the ministry with a view to preferment is like marrying for money and not for love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ring out ye crystal spheres! Once bless our human ears,  If ye have power to touch our senses so; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ring out ye crystal spheres! Once bless our human ears,  If ye have power to touch our senses so;   And let your silver chime    Move in melodious time,     And let the bass of Heaven's deep organ blow;      And with your ninefold harmony       Make up full consort to the angelic symphony.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to know God is to love many things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17705]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to know God is to love many things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creativity is essentially a lonely art.
