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[Serious illness doesn't bother me for long because I am too inhospitable a host. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Serious illness doesn't bother me for long because I am too inhospitable a host.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Folly is wont to have more followers and comrades than discretion. [Sp., Mas acompanados y paniguados debe di tener la ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16328]]></link><description><![CDATA[Folly is wont to have more followers and comrades than discretion. [Sp., Mas acompanados y paniguados debe di tener la locura que la discrecion.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love doesn't make the world go 'round.

This obsession with roots will be felt especially keenly by foundlings, who often have no way of exploring their family histories.] I notice that genealogical sites now have warnings on them saying people should be ready for little surprises, ... They're not all going to find themselves descended from King Henry VIII or Richard Cur de Lion or Wellington. This is rather strange because it was pretty taken for granted a few generations ago that families had all kinds of little moments where things had gone not according to the book. It was just one of those things. You tried to accommodate it. There was no social welfare. You just had to sort it out within villages, the families, the parish. Children went to the workhouse, but people knew about it. Nowadays, there's a kind of surprise that these cases were so commonplace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mind conscious of its own rectitude. [Lat., Mens sibi conscia recti.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51845]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mind conscious of its own rectitude. [Lat., Mens sibi conscia recti.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47751]]></link><description><![CDATA[As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The movie is really walking a very delicate line.
