All the Christian virtues are the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22,23). He is the Spirit of holiness (Rom. 1:4), of sanctification (II Thess. 2:13), and of a new life (Rom. 7:6). Love, the greatest of the Christian graces, is the pre-eminent gift of the Spirit (I Cor. 13; Col. 1:8; Rom. 15:30), not only as the grace of character, but also as a principle of unity in the Church (Eph. 4:1-6; cf. 2:18, 22). The Spirit bestows wisdom and knowledge on the individual and in the Church. Paul spoke "God's wisdom in a mystery... through the Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (I Cor. 2:7-10). "For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit" (I Cor. 12:8). All Christian knowledge was derived from the Spirit, both by Paul and [the Apostle] John (Eph. 1:17, 23; 3:16-19; John 16:13; I John 2:20, 27; cf. James 1:5, 3:15, 17).

On the most general level, they're an explicit acknowledgment that what you're doing is insufficiently interesting or rewarding for you to do it on your own. Nobody ever gave you a grade for learning how to play, how to ride a bicycle, or how to kiss. One of the best ways to destroy love for any of these activities would be through the use of grades, and the coercion and judgment they represent. Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The punishment of criminals should be of use; when a man is hanged he is good for nothing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10640]]></link><description><![CDATA[The punishment of criminals should be of use; when a man is hanged he is good for nothing]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our birth is nothing but our death begun, As tapers waste the moment they take fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4271]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our birth is nothing but our death begun, As tapers waste the moment they take fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
