One of them was young, and the other well advanced in years. The elder woman, ashamed to be courted by a man younger than herself, made a point, whenever her admirer visited her, to pull out some portion of his black hairs. The younger, on the contrary, not wishing to become the wife of an old man, was equally zealous in removing every gray hair she could find. Thus it came to pass that between them both he very soon found that he had not a hair left on his head. Those who seek to please everybody please nobody.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never a ship sails out of bay but carries my heart as a stowaway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never a ship sails out of bay but carries my heart as a stowaway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Villain, a horse--Villain, I say, give me a horse to fly, To swim the river, villain, and to fly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19838]]></link><description><![CDATA[Villain, a horse--Villain, I say, give me a horse to fly, To swim the river, villain, and to fly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from. [Lat., Nil igitur ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44672]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from. [Lat., Nil igitur fieri de nilo posse putandum es  Semine quando opus est rebus.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The golden age is before us, not behind us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64245]]></link><description><![CDATA[The golden age is before us, not behind us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And neglected his task for the flowers on the way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50670]]></link><description><![CDATA[And neglected his task for the flowers on the way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To touch the quick. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55144]]></link><description><![CDATA[To touch the quick.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death is the only inescapable, unavoidable, sure thing.

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[Life is a great surprise.
