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 that cannot obey, cannot command. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12397]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that cannot obey, cannot command.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes opportunity knocks, but most of the time it sneaks up and then quietly steals away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes opportunity knocks, but most of the time it sneaks up and then quietly steals away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Lord, let thyself be found with a good gift to everyone who needs it, that the happy may find ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8086]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Lord, let thyself be found with a good gift to everyone who needs it, that the happy may find courage to accept thy good gifts, that the sorrowful may find courage to accept thy perfect gifts.

Men of the breaking hearts had a quality about them not known to or understood by common men. They habitually spoke with spiritual authority. They had been in the Presence of God and they reported what they saw there. They were prophets, not scribes: for the scribe tells us what he has read, and the prophet tells us what he has seen. The distinction is not an imaginary one. Between the scribe who has read and the prophet who has seen, there is a difference as wide as the sea. We are today overrun with orthodox scribes; but the prophets, where are they? The hard voice of the scribe sounds over evangelicalism, but the Church waits for the tender voice of the saint who has penetrated the veil and has gazed with inward eye upon the Wonder that is God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66441]]></link><description><![CDATA[I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And I, of ladies most deject and wretched, That sucked the honey of his music vows,  Now see that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4128]]></link><description><![CDATA[And I, of ladies most deject and wretched, That sucked the honey of his music vows,  Now see that noble and most sovereign reason   Like sweet bells jangled, out of time and harsh,    That unmatched form and feature of blown youth     Blasted with ecstasy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People see a half-mile of clean road and think they can drive 75, and that's just not the case.
