They never fail to help widows; they save orphans from those who would hurt them. If a man has something, he gives freely to the man who has nothing. If they see a stranger, Christians take him home and are happy, as though he were a real brother. They don't consider themselves brothers in the usual sense, but brothers instead through the Spirit, in God. And if they hear that one of them is in jail, or persecuted for professing the name of their redeemer, they all give him what he needs -- if it is possible, they bail him out. If one of them is poor and there isn't enough food to go around, they fast several days to give him the food he needs... This is really a new kind of person. There is something divine in them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People talk about the courage of condemned men walking to the place of execution: sometimes it needs as much courage ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42779]]></link><description><![CDATA[People talk about the courage of condemned men walking to the place of execution: sometimes it needs as much courage to walk with any kind of bearing towards another person's habitual misery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I think [my husband] is so amazing that I don't know why he's with me.

[Francis] always knew where the real miracle lay. It was not in things that happened to his body, though they were wonderful enough. It was not to be found in the fact that birds and beasts, even the wolf of Gubbio, felt the spell of his spirit. It was the radiance of light and love breaking across the darkness and hate of the world and his time. He loved lepers. He loved robbers and changed their lives. He loved beggars in their rags. He loved rich men, too, and members of the Church, who needed him as much as the robbers did. He brought Christianity out of forms and creeds and services into the open air, in action and into the movements of life. He changed the entire line of march of religion in the Western World. Brother Masseo, half jesting, asked him once why the whole world was running after him, not very comely, not very wise, not of noble birth. "Why after thee?" "God chose me," Francis answered, "because He could find no one more worthless, and He wished by me to confound the nobility and grandeur, the strength and beauty and learning of the world." But the real answer is that here at last in this wonderful man was an organ of that Spirit which was in Christ, and a marvelous transmitter of it to the world. The divine agape went out into men's lives through him. Here was a childlike lover of men, ready, if need be, to be crucified for love, but also ready in humble everyday tasks to reveal this love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality.
