[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[I now realize that the small hills you see on ski slopes are formed around the bodies of forty-seven-year-olds who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56500]]></link><description><![CDATA[I now realize that the small hills you see on ski slopes are formed around the bodies of forty-seven-year-olds who tried to learn snowboarding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28900]]></link><description><![CDATA[Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lets have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lets have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No language is rude that can boast polite writers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24075]]></link><description><![CDATA[No language is rude that can boast polite writers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We took 24 shots in the second half and scored 13 points.

Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Society knows perfectly well how to kill a man and has methods more subtle than death ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56750]]></link><description><![CDATA[Society knows perfectly well how to kill a man and has methods more subtle than death]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know a trick worth two of that. -King Henry IV.
