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[Sometimes the subconscious mind manifests a wisdom several steps or even years ahead of the conscious mind, and has its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52221]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes the subconscious mind manifests a wisdom several steps or even years ahead of the conscious mind, and has its own way of leading us toward our destiny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most complex things are the simplest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1148]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most complex things are the simplest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such joy ambition finds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2334]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such joy ambition finds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If America's seen as being indifferent or even attacking the prophet, a lot of Muslims are going to say it's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28570]]></link><description><![CDATA[If America's seen as being indifferent or even attacking the prophet, a lot of Muslims are going to say it's an attack on Islam.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Karma-yoga is a supreme secret indeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62520]]></link><description><![CDATA[Karma-yoga is a supreme secret indeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will swim without cork (without help). [Lat., Nabis sine cortice.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19163]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will swim without cork (without help). [Lat., Nabis sine cortice.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those good men who take such pleasure in relieving the miserable for Christ's sake, would not have been less forward ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those good men who take such pleasure in relieving the miserable for Christ's sake, would not have been less forward to minister onto Christ Himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The short- term plan, then, is an operative plan defining goals in writing and clearly indicating how these goals are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9895]]></link><description><![CDATA[The short- term plan, then, is an operative plan defining goals in writing and clearly indicating how these goals are to be carried out...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Shakespeare's magic could not copied be; Within that circle none durst walk but he. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55315]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Shakespeare's magic could not copied be; Within that circle none durst walk but he.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28125]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation. - The Would-be Gentleman.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By three methods we may learn wisdom: first, by reflection which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is the easiest; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61768]]></link><description><![CDATA[By three methods we may learn wisdom: first, by reflection which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is the easiest; and third, by experience, which is the bitterest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I put my career in second place throughout both my marriages and it suffered.

What is there in your life that needs Christ to explain it, and that, apart from Him, simply could not have been there at all? If there is nothing, then your religion is a sheer futility. But then that is your fault, not Jesus Christ's. For, when we open the New Testament, it is to come upon whole companies of excited people, their faces all aglow, their hearts dazed and bewildered by the immensity of their own good fortune. Apparently they find it difficult to think of anything but this amazing happening that has befallen them; quite certainly they cannot keep from laying almost violent hands on every chance passer-by, and pouring out yet once again the whole astounding story. And always, as we listen, they keep throwing up their hands as if in sheer despair, telling us it is hopeless, that it breaks through language, that it won't describe, that until a man has known Christ for himself he can have no idea of the enormous difference He makes. It is as when a woman gives a man her heart; or when a little one is born to very you; or when, after long lean years of pain and greyness, health comes back. You cannot really describe that; you cannot put it into words, not adequately. Only, the whole world is different, and life gloriously new. Well, it is like that, they say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have always been praying for India-Pakistan friendship and I think now those prayers are being answered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36728]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have always been praying for India-Pakistan friendship and I think now those prayers are being answered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['T is beauty truly blent, whose red and white Nature's own sweet and cunning hand laid on: Lady, you are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55740]]></link><description><![CDATA['T is beauty truly blent, whose red and white Nature's own sweet and cunning hand laid on: Lady, you are the cruell'st she alive If you will lead these graces to the grave And leave the world no copy. -Twelfth Night.
