The Gospel is full of divine attempts to help and heal, in the body, mind and heart, individual men. The completed beauty of Christ's life is only the added beauty of little inconspicuous acts of beauty -- talking with the woman at the well; going far up into the North country to talk with the Syrophenician woman; showing the young ruler the stealthy ambition laid away in his heart, that kept him out of the kingdom of Heaven; shedding a tear at the grave of Lazarus; teaching a little knot of followers how to pray; preaching the Gospel one Sunday afternoon to two disciples going out to Emmaus; kindling a fire and broiling fish, that His disciples might have a breakfast waiting for them when they came ashore after a night of fishing, cold, tired, discouraged. All of these things, you see, let us in so easily into the real quality and tone of God's interests, so specific, so narrowed down, so enlisted in what is small, so engrossed in what is minute.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most distinguishing feature of winners is their intensity of purpose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21883]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most distinguishing feature of winners is their intensity of purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The oyster is unseasonable and unwholesome in all months that have not the letter R in their name. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45351]]></link><description><![CDATA[The oyster is unseasonable and unwholesome in all months that have not the letter R in their name.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time moves in one direction, memory in another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time moves in one direction, memory in another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14393]]></link><description><![CDATA[Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are not more than five primary colors (blue, yellow, red, white, and black), yet in combination they produce more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8960]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are not more than five primary colors (blue, yellow, red, white, and black), yet in combination they produce more hues than can ever been seen]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If thou lookest on the lime-leaf, Thou a heart's form will discover;  Therefore are the lindens ever   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25118]]></link><description><![CDATA[If thou lookest on the lime-leaf, Thou a heart's form will discover;  Therefore are the lindens ever   Chosen seats of each fond lover.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself  Till by broad spreading it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17561]]></link><description><![CDATA[Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself  Till by broad spreading it disperse to naught.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eve wasn't a size 6 and neither am I. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eve wasn't a size 6 and neither am I.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29463]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any fool can say he is wise but only someone wise can admit he is a fool. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46511]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any fool can say he is wise but only someone wise can admit he is a fool.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The even mead, that erst brought sweetly forth The freckled cowslip, burnet, and green clover,  Wanting the scythe, all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10542]]></link><description><![CDATA[The even mead, that erst brought sweetly forth The freckled cowslip, burnet, and green clover,  Wanting the scythe, all uncorrected, rank,   Conceives by idleness, and nothing teems    But hateful docks, rough thistles, kecksies, burrs,     Losing both beauty and utility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   We must remember that our experience of union with God, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   We must remember that our experience of union with God, our feeling of His presence, is altogether accidental and secondary.
