I suffered a mild depression... When [an episcopal priest] prayed for my recovery, I choked up and wept. The only prayer I knew word for word was the Pater Noster. On that day and in the days after it, I found myself repeating the Lord's Prayer, again and again, and meaning every word of it. Quite suddenly, when I was awake one night, a light dawned on me, and I realized what had happened... After many years of affirming God's existence and trying to give adequate reasons for that affirmation, I found myself believing in God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60846]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one hath a foole in his sleeve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one hath a foole in his sleeve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not necessary to retain facts that we may reason concerning them. [Fr., Il n'est pas necessaire de tenir ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53088]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not necessary to retain facts that we may reason concerning them. [Fr., Il n'est pas necessaire de tenir les choses pour en raisonner.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one has yet discovered any warlike purpose to be served by the theory of numbers or relativity, and it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53428]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one has yet discovered any warlike purpose to be served by the theory of numbers or relativity, and it seems very unlikely that anyone will do so for many years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Were it not for the bone in the legge, all the world would turne Carpenters (to make them crutches). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50054]]></link><description><![CDATA[Were it not for the bone in the legge, all the world would turne Carpenters (to make them crutches).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to play with your head and your heart.

The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth.

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 most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates.
