Education can receive from the Bible a faith concerning man far more realistic than the naive faith by which education has tried to live. Not man as "pure reason": his reason is not pure. Not man as incipient angel: he can turn any structure... to good or to demonic purpose. Not man with his steps on the highroad called evolution: he is relatively free and, therefore, can and does wreck any evolution unless some Grace constantly renews his onward journey. Not man who by his science is sure to fashion a "brave new world"; by science he can destroy the world. Not man as centrally and characteristically a reasonable creature who needs only that his mind shall be educated to build a reasonable world. Not man regarded in any naive faith, but man as potentially divine and potentially unworthy, who stands always in need of help from beyond the confines of the natural order. If education confronts this faith, education will know that the mind's adventure also, like all things human, stands in need of redemption; and it can then proceed with lowliness, and thus with the power and light which are the reward of the lowly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18572]]></link><description><![CDATA[But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a star in the West that shall never go down Till the records of Valour decay,  We must ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61240]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a star in the West that shall never go down Till the records of Valour decay,  We must worship its light though it is not our own,   For liberty burst in its ray.    Shall the name of a Washington ever be heard     By a freeman, and thrill not his breast?      Is there one out of bondage that hails not the word,       As a Bethlehem Star of the West?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is; I only know that people call me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27131]]></link><description><![CDATA[I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is; I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat. -Rebecca West.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Energy and persistence conquer all things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Energy and persistence conquer all things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59832]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So may the outward shows be least themselves; The world is still deceived with ornament.  In law, what plea ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51413]]></link><description><![CDATA[So may the outward shows be least themselves; The world is still deceived with ornament.  In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt   But being seasoned with a gracious voice,    Obscures the show of evil?
