It is the recognition by man's higher nature of sources of comfort and hope beyond anything that sense-knowledge discloses. It is the consciousness of a Divine Father toward Whom goes out all that is in affection and highest in moral aspiration; it is the premonition of a future life of which the best attainment here is but the twilight promise. In our day, the sudden and vast revelation of material wonders unsteadies and dims for the moment the spiritual sight; but the stars will shine clear again.  The truth-seeking spirit and the spirit of faith, instead of being opposed, are in the deepest harmony. The man whose faith is most genuine is most willing to have its assertions tested by the severest scrutiny. And the passion for truth has underlying it a profound conviction that what is real is best; that when we get to the heart of things we shall find there what we most need. Faith is false to itself when it dreads truth, and the desire for truth is prompted by an inner voice of faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talk of nothing but business, and dispatch that business quickly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5012]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talk of nothing but business, and dispatch that business quickly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the invariable habit of bureaucracies, at all times and everywhere, to assume...that every citizen is a criminal.

Their one apparent purpose, pursued with a relentless and furious diligence, is to convert the assumption into a fact. They hunt endlessly for proofs, and, when proofs are lacking, for mere suspicions. The moment they become aware of a definite citizen, John Doe, seeking what is his right under the law, they begin searching feverishly for an excuse for withholding it from him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To laugh, to lie, to flatter to face, Foure waies in court to win men's grace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10452]]></link><description><![CDATA[To laugh, to lie, to flatter to face, Foure waies in court to win men's grace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How we dwelt in two worlds the daughters and the mothers in the kingdom of the sons. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27092]]></link><description><![CDATA[How we dwelt in two worlds the daughters and the mothers in the kingdom of the sons.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The elegance of honesty needs no adornment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19674]]></link><description><![CDATA[The elegance of honesty needs no adornment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60121]]></link><description><![CDATA[So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Upstate of South Carolina has an excellent engineering resource base that will allow us to continue growing our business ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37427]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Upstate of South Carolina has an excellent engineering resource base that will allow us to continue growing our business and meeting our customers' expectations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65050]]></link><description><![CDATA[To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46344]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The merry cuckow, messenger of Spring, His trumpet shrill hath thrice already sounded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10815]]></link><description><![CDATA[The merry cuckow, messenger of Spring, His trumpet shrill hath thrice already sounded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light.
