But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The unicorn is a very fierce beast with only one horn.

The purpose of mushrooms is to be mushrooms, wine is in order to wine: things are precious before they are contributory. It is a false piety that walks through creation looking only for lessons which can be applied somewhere else. To be sure, God remains the greatest good; but, for all that, the world is still good in itself. Indeed, since He does not need it, its whole reason for being must lie in its own natural goodness; He has no use for it, only delight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10934]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power will intoxicate the best hearts, as wine the strongest heads.
