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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The grave is still the best shelter against the storms of destiny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18223]]></link><description><![CDATA[The grave is still the best shelter against the storms of destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Holy Father, so passes away the glory of the world. [Lat., Pater sancte, sic transit gloria mundi.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Holy Father, so passes away the glory of the world. [Lat., Pater sancte, sic transit gloria mundi.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The birds chaunt melody on every bush, The snake lies rolled in the cheerful sun,  The green leaves quiver ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13301]]></link><description><![CDATA[The birds chaunt melody on every bush, The snake lies rolled in the cheerful sun,  The green leaves quiver with the cooling wind,   And make a checkered shadow on the ground;    Under their sweet shade, Aaron, let us sit,     And whilst the babbling echo mocks the hounds,      Replying shrilly to the well-tuned horns,       As if a double hunt were heard at once,        Let us sit down and mark their yellowing noise;         And after conflict such as was supposed          The wand'ring prince and Dido once enjoyed,           When with a happy storm they were surprised,            And curtained with a counsel-keeping cave,             We may, each wreathed in the other's arms,              Our pastimes done, possess a golden slumber,               Whiles hounds and horns and sweet melodious birds                Be unto us as is a nurse's song                 Of lullaby to bring her babe asleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone's neurosis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62436]]></link><description><![CDATA[The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone's neurosis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friends love misery, in fact.
