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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who rules by moral force is like the pole star, which remains in place while all the lesser stars ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3488]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who rules by moral force is like the pole star, which remains in place while all the lesser stars do homage to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us be silent that we may hear the whispers of the gods. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us be silent that we may hear the whispers of the gods.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are jumping on it quicker, ...
