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[There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/760]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by the tenderness of the best of hearts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51982]]></link><description><![CDATA[The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by the tenderness of the best of hearts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In some parts of Ireland the sleep which knows no waking is always followed by a wake which knows no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61086]]></link><description><![CDATA[In some parts of Ireland the sleep which knows no waking is always followed by a wake which knows no sleeping.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is in souls a sympathy with sounds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58517]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is in souls a sympathy with sounds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just by being out you're doing your part.

For here we are dealing with processes and events which, by the nature of the case, cannot be precisely described in everyday language...  The matter is quite different with such a statement as that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary; for, whatever aspects of the Incarnation outstrip the descriptive power of ordinary language, this at least is plainly statable in it. It means that Jesus was conceived in his mother's womb without previous sexual intercourse on her part with any male human being, and this is a straightforward statement which is either true or false. To say that the birth... of Jesus Christ cannot simply be thought of as a biological event, and to add that this is [not] what the Virgin Birth means, is a plain misuse of language; and no amount of talk about the appealing character of the "Christmas myth" can validly gloss this over.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lo! darkness bends down like a mother of grief On the limitless plain, and the fall of her hair  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lo! darkness bends down like a mother of grief On the limitless plain, and the fall of her hair  It has mantled a world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But every fool describes, in these bright days, His wondrous journey to some foreign court,  And spawns his quarto, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3519]]></link><description><![CDATA[But every fool describes, in these bright days, His wondrous journey to some foreign court,  And spawns his quarto, and demands your praise,--   Death to his publisher, to him 'tis sport.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no sinner like a young saint. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5997]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no sinner like a young saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will most likely find a tremendous difference in opinion from certain Ohio universities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36495]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will most likely find a tremendous difference in opinion from certain Ohio universities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever makes two ears of corn, or two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before, deserves better ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46903]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever makes two ears of corn, or two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before, deserves better of mankind, and does more essential service to his country than the whole race of politicians put together]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are outraged by somebodys impudence, ask yourself at once, Can the world exist without impudent people?
