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[Having some retail experience is key.

The prophets were men called by God to serve as His messengers to a stubborn and unheeding people. They were always careful to point out that they were not voicing their own wisdom. Their warnings, entreaties, and promises were always prefaced by the awesome proclamation: "Thus says the Lord..." When the prophets did engage in prognostication, they usually were concerned with events which were fairly close at hand, such as the Assyrian conquest of Israel and the Babylonian conquest of Judah (both of which they foretold with deadly accuracy). But occasionally a prophet's vision ranged farther into the future, to the day when God would enter into a new covenant with his rebellious children. The hope of reconciliation was often linked with the coming of a very particular person, a Messiah or Savior.  What made the prophets so sure that they had a right--nay, a duty, to speak in the name of God? It is clear from their writings that they were not megalomaniacs who confused their own thoughts with the voice of God. On the contrary, they were humble men, awe-stricken by the responsibilities thrust upon them... The prophets minced no words in their indictments of the sins of Israel and Judah, and they trod especially hard on the toes of the rich, the powerful, and the pious. The Establishment responded then as some church members are wont to respond now when a preacher speaks out on controversial public issues: "One should not preach of such things!" (Micah 2:6).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63395]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is not guilty who is not guilty of his own free will. [Lat., Haud est nocens, quicumque non sponte ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18476]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is not guilty who is not guilty of his own free will. [Lat., Haud est nocens, quicumque non sponte est nocens.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle that fits the all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26126]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle that fits the all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I may be crazy but it keeps me from going insane. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21395]]></link><description><![CDATA[I may be crazy but it keeps me from going insane.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A feeble dart short of its mark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51778]]></link><description><![CDATA[A feeble dart short of its mark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Matt Dillon was the kind of guy who's low-key but stands for what is right.

He had never seen the Book before. It taught him another lesson than that of fasts and vigils... Luther learned now that a man was saved not by singing masses, but by the infinite grace of God: a more credible hypothesis. He gradually got himself founded, as on the rock. No wonder he should venerate the Bible, which had brought this blessed help to him. He prized it as the Word of the Highest must be prized by such a man.
