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 fickle populace always change with the prince. [Lat., Mobile mutatur semper cum principe vulgus.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52460]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fickle populace always change with the prince. [Lat., Mobile mutatur semper cum principe vulgus.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With books and money placed, for show Like nest eggs, to make clients lay,  And for his false opinion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44935]]></link><description><![CDATA[With books and money placed, for show Like nest eggs, to make clients lay,  And for his false opinion pay.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hope the public will offer ideas about how we can best present the local history of each region we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41127]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hope the public will offer ideas about how we can best present the local history of each region we visit.

Our model is the Jesus, not only of Calvary, but of the workshop, the roads, the crowds, the clamorous demands and surly oppositions, the lack of all peace and privacy, the interruptions. For this, so strangely unlike anything we can attribute to the divine life in itself, is apparently not only like, but is, the divine life operating under human conditions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her voice was ever soft, Gentle, and low, an excellent thing in woman. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her voice was ever soft, Gentle, and low, an excellent thing in woman.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hear the mellow wedding bells, Golden bells!  What a world of happiness their harmony foretells   Through the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4123]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hear the mellow wedding bells, Golden bells!  What a world of happiness their harmony foretells   Through the balmy air of night    How they ring out their delight!     From the molten golden notes,      And all in tune       What a liquid ditty floats        To the turtle-dove that listens while she gloats         On the moon!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the busy haunts of men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8767]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the busy haunts of men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're all pilgrims on the same journey-but some pilgrims have betterroad maps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21979]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're all pilgrims on the same journey-but some pilgrims have betterroad maps.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If God wants people to suffer, he sends them too much understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61098]]></link><description><![CDATA[If God wants people to suffer, he sends them too much understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A stick and a string with a fly at one end and a fool at the other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16096]]></link><description><![CDATA[A stick and a string with a fly at one end and a fool at the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the French were really intelligent, they'd speak English. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47297]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the French were really intelligent, they'd speak English.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A spark neglected has often raised a conflagration. [Lat., Parva saepe scintilla contempta magnum excitavit incendium.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16022]]></link><description><![CDATA[A spark neglected has often raised a conflagration. [Lat., Parva saepe scintilla contempta magnum excitavit incendium.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The closest to perfection a person ever comes is when he fills out a jobapplication form. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22301]]></link><description><![CDATA[The closest to perfection a person ever comes is when he fills out a jobapplication form.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64440]]></link><description><![CDATA[My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64404]]></link><description><![CDATA[From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I give the fight up;
