Education can receive from the Bible a faith concerning man far more realistic than the naive faith by which education has tried to live. Not man as "pure reason": his reason is not pure. Not man as incipient angel: he can turn any structure... to good or to demonic purpose. Not man with his steps on the highroad called evolution: he is relatively free and, therefore, can and does wreck any evolution unless some Grace constantly renews his onward journey. Not man who by his science is sure to fashion a "brave new world"; by science he can destroy the world. Not man as centrally and characteristically a reasonable creature who needs only that his mind shall be educated to build a reasonable world. Not man regarded in any naive faith, but man as potentially divine and potentially unworthy, who stands always in need of help from beyond the confines of the natural order. If education confronts this faith, education will know that the mind's adventure also, like all things human, stands in need of redemption; and it can then proceed with lowliness, and thus with the power and light which are the reward of the lowly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is nothing but everyday living seen through a veil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25420]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is nothing but everyday living seen through a veil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An instinctive taste teaches men to build their churches in flat countries with spire steeples, which, as they cannot be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8670]]></link><description><![CDATA[An instinctive taste teaches men to build their churches in flat countries with spire steeples, which, as they cannot be referred to any other object, point as with silent finger to the sky and stars.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/694]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't see any signs of anything being wrong.
