It is the recognition by man's higher nature of sources of comfort and hope beyond anything that sense-knowledge discloses. It is the consciousness of a Divine Father toward Whom goes out all that is in affection and highest in moral aspiration; it is the premonition of a future life of which the best attainment here is but the twilight promise. In our day, the sudden and vast revelation of material wonders unsteadies and dims for the moment the spiritual sight; but the stars will shine clear again.  The truth-seeking spirit and the spirit of faith, instead of being opposed, are in the deepest harmony. The man whose faith is most genuine is most willing to have its assertions tested by the severest scrutiny. And the passion for truth has underlying it a profound conviction that what is real is best; that when we get to the heart of things we shall find there what we most need. Faith is false to itself when it dreads truth, and the desire for truth is prompted by an inner voice of faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22647]]></link><description><![CDATA[What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel more at home and more confident with those guys here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33541]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel more at home and more confident with those guys here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25725]]></link><description><![CDATA[In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The side played sensationally.

Why spill this golden splendor out across The western hills, and light the silver lamp Of eve? Why give me eyes to see, and soul To love so strong and deep? Then, with a pang This brightness stabs me through, and wakes within Rebellious voice to cry against all death? Why set this hunger for eternity To gnaw my heartstrings through, if death ends all? If death ends all, then evil must be good, Wrong must be right, and beauty ugliness.  God is a Judas who betrays His Son, And with a kiss, damns all the world to hell, -- If Christ rose not again.   ... Unknown soldier, killed in World War I  August 9, 2002 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921 Concluding a short series of verse on Christ: With this ambiguous earth his dealings have been told us. These abide:    The signal to a maid, the human birth,    The lesson, and the young Man crucified. But not a star of all the innumerable host of stars has heard    How he administered this terrestrial ball.    Our race has kept their Lord's entrusted Word. Of his earth-visiting feet none knows the secret, cherished, perilous,    The terrible, shamefast, frightened, whispered, sweet,    Heart-shattering secret of his way with us. No planet knows that this, our wayside planet, carrying land and wave,    Love and life multiplied, and pain and bliss,    Bears, as its chief treasure, one forsaken grave. Nor, in our little day, may his devices with the heavens be guessed,    His pilgrimage to thread the Milky Way    Or his bestowal there be manifest. But in the eternities, doubtless we shall compare    Together, hear a million alien Gospels, in what guise    He trod the Pleiades, the Lyre, and the Bear. O, be prepared, my soul! To read the inconceivable, to scan    The million forms of God those stars unroll    When, in our turn, we show to them a Man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is at ease seekes dainties. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49363]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is at ease seekes dainties.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Private credit is wealth; public honor is security; the feather that adorns the royal bird supports its flight; strip him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Private credit is wealth; public honor is security; the feather that adorns the royal bird supports its flight; strip him of his plumage, and you fix him to the earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43539]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The one thing we learned in 2005 is there is no simple answer or smoking gun for this.
