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[No place indeed should murder sanctuarize; Revenge should have no bounds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43399]]></link><description><![CDATA[No place indeed should murder sanctuarize; Revenge should have no bounds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mechanism is always important, because without understanding it, it's difficult to predict how animal data would translate to people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mechanism is always important, because without understanding it, it's difficult to predict how animal data would translate to people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who does not bellow out the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56897]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who does not bellow out the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and forgers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather be able to appreciate things I cannot have than to have things I am not able to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58652]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather be able to appreciate things I cannot have than to have things I am not able to appreciate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11195]]></link><description><![CDATA[The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They weren't just people paying to see a show.
