Those who are fascinated by the supposed superiority of the mystic soul might profitably compile a list of its characteristics and place them side by side with those of Christ. The results would probably expose a surprising conclusion. There is, in fact, no provision for a "privileged class" in genuine Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes time for the absent to assume their true shape in our thoughts.

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[What this system endeavours to do is to provide some factors which outline the discretion, which explain the discretion and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28455]]></link><description><![CDATA[What this system endeavours to do is to provide some factors which outline the discretion, which explain the discretion and make it accountable and transparent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28455</guid></item></channel></rss>
