But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No language is rude that can boast polite writers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24075]]></link><description><![CDATA[No language is rude that can boast polite writers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity shall cover the multitude of sins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48571]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity shall cover the multitude of sins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we don't know life, how can we know death? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64231]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we don't know life, how can we know death?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of facts. -Henry Adams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13564]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of facts. -Henry Adams.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All labours draw hame at even, And can to others say,  "Thanks to the gracious God of heaven,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58262]]></link><description><![CDATA[All labours draw hame at even, And can to others say,  "Thanks to the gracious God of heaven,   Whilk sent this summer day."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poets heap virtues, painters gems, at will, And show their zeal, and hide their want of skill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62631]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poets heap virtues, painters gems, at will, And show their zeal, and hide their want of skill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there, it's so petty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14769]]></link><description><![CDATA[I get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there, it's so petty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Menendez has a fund raiser, and basically everyone donates to him.

He was not indifferent to observances, but the practices of the people bulked in His thoughts before the practices of the Church. It has been pointed out as a blemish on the immortal allegory of Bunyan that the Pilgrim never did anything -- anything but save his soul. The remark is scarcely fair, for the allegory is designedly the story of a soul in a single relation; and, besides, he did do a little. But the warning may well be weighed. The Pilgrim's one thought, his work by day, his dream by night, was escape. He took little part in the world through which he passed. He was a Pilgrim travelling through it; his business was to get through safe. Whatever this is, it is not Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world needs anger.
