They cannot believe that there is verily an unseen, mysterious power, till the world and all that is in it has vanished in the smoke of despair; till cause and effect are nothing to the intellect, and possible glories have faded from the imagination. Then, deprived of all that made life pleasant or hopeful, the immortal essence, lonely and wretched and unable to cease, looks up with its now unfettered and wakened instinct to the source of its own life -- to the possible God who, notwithstanding all the improbabilities of His existence, may yet perhaps be, and may yet perhaps hear His wretched creature that calls. In this loneliness of despair, life must find The Life: for joy is gone, and life is all that is left; it is compelled to seek its source, its root, its eternal life. This alone remains a possible thing. Strange condition of despair into which the Spirit of God drives a man -- a condition in which the Best alone is the Possible!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26565]]></link><description><![CDATA[My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pessimist is a person who has had to listen to too many optimists. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46433]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pessimist is a person who has had to listen to too many optimists.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude.

It's about being mentally, emotionally, and physically present in the heart. We often put so much energy and focus on how we "present" ourselves - the way we appear, what we wear,what we say, what car we drive. If we put a fraction of that energy into how we present ourselves to ourselves on the mental and emotional levels, we can greatly reduce anxiety and increase our vitality. -Doc Childre.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You see things; and you say, "Why"; But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?" ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52761]]></link><description><![CDATA[You see things; and you say, "Why"; But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Similar problems are faced in every household, but this is on a much larger scale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Similar problems are faced in every household, but this is on a much larger scale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What do you first do when you learn to swim?

The elder woman, ashamed to be courted by a man younger than herself, made a point, whenever her admirer visited her, to pull out some portion of his black hairs. The younger, on the contrary, not wishing to become the wife of an old man, was equally zealous in removing every gray hair she could find. Thus it came to pass that between them both he very soon found that he had not a hair left on his head. Those who seek to please everybody please nobody.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take heede of the viniger of sweet wine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take heede of the viniger of sweet wine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words may lie,but actions will always tell the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words may lie,but actions will always tell the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's unbelievable.
