That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like 'Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!' and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, 'That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice.' Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man desires praise that he may be reassured, that he may be quit of his doubting of himself; he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27685]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man desires praise that he may be reassured, that he may be quit of his doubting of himself; he is indifferent to applause when he is confident of success. - On Doing What One Likes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65314]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The classes and the masses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56767]]></link><description><![CDATA[The classes and the masses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot wish for that we know not. [Fr., On ne peut desirer ce qu'on ne connait pas.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61793]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot wish for that we know not. [Fr., On ne peut desirer ce qu'on ne connait pas.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Farewell, vain world, I've had enough of thee, And Valies't not what thou Can'st say of me;  Thy Smiles ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Farewell, vain world, I've had enough of thee, And Valies't not what thou Can'st say of me;  Thy Smiles I count not, nor thy frowns I fear,   My days are past, my head lies quiet here.    What faults you saw in me take Care to shun,     Look but at home, enough is to be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45628]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For they say there's a Providence sits up aloft To keep watch for the life of poor Jack. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43993]]></link><description><![CDATA[For they say there's a Providence sits up aloft To keep watch for the life of poor Jack.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56927]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4070]]></link><description><![CDATA[The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He gave it serious consideration; he had a number of conversations with his family.

The more knowledge, the more obligation. The maintaining of revealed doctrine becomes blasphemy if it is not borne out by the corresponding testimony of the life. He who is always appealing to the Word of God without his life and conduct corresponding to this knowledge of God, dishonours God's name, making Him an object of mockery and hatred. It is just those who know so well how to talk about God who make His name hateful among men, because their lives darken the picture of God and turn it into a caricature. The Lord is judged by the life of His servants; this is the truer, the more zealously they appeal to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mere fact that you have obstacles to overcome is in your favor... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22528]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mere fact that you have obstacles to overcome is in your favor...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What else is the meaning of our present chaos, of humanity in sorrow, but this: that contemporary man is tried ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6694]]></link><description><![CDATA[What else is the meaning of our present chaos, of humanity in sorrow, but this: that contemporary man is tried before the bar of the Eternal, and found wanting? Nor can any nation survive, or re-establish lasting peace, if it rests on those foundations on which contemporary nations have been built, our own included. What are those crumbling foundations? Conceit, self-will, denial of discipline, self-expressionism, secularism, this worldliness, greed, entrenched privilege, defiance of God's desire. On base absurdities have we built. Have we now moral courage to face our common sin, or are we content to trust in one form of armed wickedness to overcome the evils of another form of the same mad folly? Merely by smashing our enemies we shall not remake the world. By Beelzebub no devils are cast out...

[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 true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64889]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where none admire, 'tis useless to excel; Where none are beaux, 'tis vain to be a belle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50607]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where none admire, 'tis useless to excel; Where none are beaux, 'tis vain to be a belle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Born for success, he seemed With grace to win, with heart to hold,  With shining gifts that took all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58141]]></link><description><![CDATA[Born for success, he seemed With grace to win, with heart to hold,  With shining gifts that took all eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are very mobile if they don't like it.
