And that context, astounding even to bodily eyes is the heaven of stars and the incredible procession of the great galaxies. Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer, From Chaos to Coherence Science's view of intelligence itself has begun to change. Historically, "intelligence" has been defined simply as mental capacity. Some have even proposed that it is, therefore, fixed, finite, and genetically predetermined. Now it appears intelligence has other dimensions as well, physiologically and emotionally. We all have considerably more intelligence than we thought; we just have not learned to bring our capacity for intelligence into coherence. Martin Luther King, Jr. -W. MacNeile Dixon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What makes us discontented with our condition is the absurdly exaggerated idea we have of the happiness of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9995]]></link><description><![CDATA[What makes us discontented with our condition is the absurdly exaggerated idea we have of the happiness of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it's significantly faster than the first mile, the coach should have raised eyebrows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41795]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it's significantly faster than the first mile, the coach should have raised eyebrows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I heard a Stock-dove sing or say His homely tale, this very day;  His voice was buried among trees, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12813]]></link><description><![CDATA[I heard a Stock-dove sing or say His homely tale, this very day;  His voice was buried among trees,   Yet to be come at by the breeze:    He did not cease; but cooed--and cooed:     And somewhat pensively he wooed:      He sang of love, with quiet blending,       Slow to begin, and never ending;        Of serious faith, and inward glee;         That was the song,--the song for me!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nay, master, said not I as much when I saw the porpoise, how he bounced and tumbled?

The Holy Spirit supports our helplessness. Left to ourselves we do not know what prayers to offer or how to offer them. But in those inarticulate groans which rise from the depth of our being, we recognize the voice of none other than the Holy Spirit. He makes intercession; and His intercession is sure to be answered. For God Who searches the inmost recesses of the heart can interpret His own Spirit's meaning. He knows that His own Will regulates Its petitions, and that they are offered for men dedicated to His service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men's evil manners live in brass; their virtues We write in water. -King Henry VIII.

[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[When the solution is simple, God is answering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65035]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the solution is simple, God is answering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If America can go to the moon, then in the decades to come we should not ever have to have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16609]]></link><description><![CDATA[If America can go to the moon, then in the decades to come we should not ever have to have young Americans sent to any part of the world to defend and die for America's gluttony on fossil fuel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prudence in action avails more than wisdom in conception. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48866]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prudence in action avails more than wisdom in conception.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After seven years of marriage, I'm sure of two things -- first, never wallpaper together, and second, you'll need two ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43580]]></link><description><![CDATA[After seven years of marriage, I'm sure of two things -- first, never wallpaper together, and second, you'll need two bathrooms . . . both for her.
