Men of the breaking hearts had a quality about them not known to or understood by common men. They habitually spoke with spiritual authority. They had been in the Presence of God and they reported what they saw there. They were prophets, not scribes: for the scribe tells us what he has read, and the prophet tells us what he has seen. The distinction is not an imaginary one. Between the scribe who has read and the prophet who has seen, there is a difference as wide as the sea. We are today overrun with orthodox scribes; but the prophets, where are they? The hard voice of the scribe sounds over evangelicalism, but the Church waits for the tender voice of the saint who has penetrated the veil and has gazed with inward eye upon the Wonder that is God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Complaint is the largest tribute Heaven receives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Complaint is the largest tribute Heaven receives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember son, many a good story has been ruined by over verification. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1070]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember son, many a good story has been ruined by over verification.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's easier to apologize than ask for permission. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2710]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's easier to apologize than ask for permission.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one hits the bottom of the Desperation Barrel, there is always someone down there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12045]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one hits the bottom of the Desperation Barrel, there is always someone down there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should never let ourselves be burnt for our opinions; we are not that sure of them.

He had many, but His favourite was to their chivalry and valour. Often He underlines the difficulties of discipleship, warns us what it will cost, that it means risk and loss and sacrifice, and pulling hard against fierce currents; and then He turns and looks at us, with that honouring trust of His in us that sets the blood tingling and makes the cheeks flush with pride. That, He says quietly, is why I am so sure that you will come: you are too big to keep out of it! And, indeed, in His own day, it was only daring and adventurous spirits who would risk declaring for Him, as it is only daring and adventurous spirits still who have the pluck to try to follow so original and unpopular a Master in the real living-out of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is the author, men are only the players.
