Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is twice as large, measured on a three-year-old's three-foot scale on a thirty-year-old's six-foot scale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything is twice as large, measured on a three-year-old's three-foot scale on a thirty-year-old's six-foot scale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It may indeed prove to be far the most difficult and not the least important task for human reason rationally ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52017]]></link><description><![CDATA[It may indeed prove to be far the most difficult and not the least important task for human reason rationally to comprehend its own limitations.

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></channel></rss>
