[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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acerra always drinks till dawn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50615]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acerra always drinks till dawn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let not a god interfere unless where a god's assistance is necessary.

This perhaps may seem to some a great oversight and omission. But our Lord in great wisdom thought fit to give us a pattern of a quite different sort of life, which was, not to fly the conversation of men and to live in a monastery or a wilderness, but to do good among men, to live in the world with great freedom and with great innocence. He did indeed sometimes retire himself for the more free and private exercise of devotion, as we ought to do; but he passed his life chiefly in the conversation of men, that they might have all the benefit that was possible of his instruction and example We read that "he was carried into the wilderness to be tempted," but not that he lived there to avoid temptation. He hath given us an example of denying the world without leaving it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two hundred million Americans, and there ain't two good catchers among 'em. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57686]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two hundred million Americans, and there ain't two good catchers among 'em.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66885]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real odd thing here is that we're existing gambling facilities in this state and we offer all those things ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32393]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real odd thing here is that we're existing gambling facilities in this state and we offer all those things now.

What we can see is that both an incarnation and a virginal conception were thoroughly appropriate to the needs and circumstances of the case and were more "natural", in the sense of more appropriate, than the alternatives... In practice, denial of the virginal conception or inability to see its relevance almost always goes with an inadequate understanding of the Incarnation and of the Christian religion in general.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have seen the day of wrong through the little hole of discretion. -Love's Labour 's Lost.
