"This friend is always sure and right;  His lantern is sufficient light -- I need no star," I said. I sought Him in the city square.  Logic and I went up and down  The marketplace of many a town, And He was never there. I tracked Him to the mind's far rim.  The valiant Intellect went forth  To east and west and south and north, And found no trace of Him. We walked the world from sun to sun,  Logic and I, with little Faith,  But never came to Nazareth, Or found the Holy One. I sought in vain. And finally,  Back to the heart's small house I crept,  And fell upon my knees, and wept; And lo! -- He came to me!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know that there are things that never have been funny, and never will be.

We shrink from the consequences of truth. We look round and cling dependently. We ask what men will think; what others will say; whether they will not stare in astonishment. Perhaps they will; but he who is calculating that, will accomplish nothing in this life. The Father -- the Father which is with us and in us -- what does He think? God's work cannot be done without a spirit of independence. A man is got some way in the Christian life when he has learned to say, humbly yet majestically, "I dare to be alone.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must marry one's feelings to one's beliefs and ideas.
