"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[Each word bears its weight, so you have to read my poems quite slowly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65073]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each word bears its weight, so you have to read my poems quite slowly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chemists employed by the police can do remarkable things with blood.

The way to keep it in peace is to enter into it by means of inward silence. When you see yourself more sharply assaulted, retreat into that region of peace; and you will find a fortress that will enable you to triumph over all your enemies, visible and invisible, and over all their snares and temptations. Within your own soul resides divine aid, and sovereign succour. Retreat within it, and all will be quiet, secure, peaceable, and calm. Thus, by means of mental silence, which can only be attained with divine help, you may look for tranquility in tumult: for solitude in company; for light in darkness; for forgetfulness in pressures: for vigour in despondency; for courage in fear; for resistance in temptation; and for quiet in tribulation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do and I gave the commonsensical reply that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do and I gave the commonsensical reply that we don't have as much money.

What, but the Lord God? For who is Lord but the Lord? or who is God save our God? Most highest, most good, most potent, most omnipotent; most merciful, yet most just; most hidden, yet most present; most beautiful, yet most strong; stable, yet incomprehensible; unchangeable, yet all changing; never new, never old; all-renewing, and bringing age upon the Proud, and they know it not; ever working, ever at rest; still gathering, yet nothing lacking; supporting, filling, and over-spreading; creating, nourishing, and maturing; seeking, yet having all things.
