[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[The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53928]]></link><description><![CDATA[The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good and not quite all the time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17860]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good and not quite all the time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between a smart man and a wise man is that a smart man knows what to say, a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46385]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between a smart man and a wise man is that a smart man knows what to say, a wise man knows whether or not to say it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Disease is a physical process that generally begins that equality which death completes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12503]]></link><description><![CDATA[Disease is a physical process that generally begins that equality which death completes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A moderate addiction to money may not always be hurtful; but when taken in excess it is nearly always bad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/588]]></link><description><![CDATA[A moderate addiction to money may not always be hurtful; but when taken in excess it is nearly always bad for the health.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time cools; time clarifies; no mood can be maintained quite unaltered through the course of hours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59361]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time cools; time clarifies; no mood can be maintained quite unaltered through the course of hours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[False eloquence is exaggeration; true eloquence is emphasis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13711]]></link><description><![CDATA[False eloquence is exaggeration; true eloquence is emphasis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one honest impulse at the bottom of Puritanism, and that is the impulse to punish the man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52196]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one honest impulse at the bottom of Puritanism, and that is the impulse to punish the man with a superior capacity for happiness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Youth, what man's age is like to be, doth show; We may our ends by our beginnings know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62573]]></link><description><![CDATA[Youth, what man's age is like to be, doth show; We may our ends by our beginnings know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yeah, I don't think the final ball was there for us tonight.
