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[Education, n.: That which discloses the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13544]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education, n.: That which discloses the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41652]]></link><description><![CDATA[Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When now, unsparing as the scourge of war, Blasts follow blasts and groves dismantled roar;  Around their home the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61706]]></link><description><![CDATA[When now, unsparing as the scourge of war, Blasts follow blasts and groves dismantled roar;  Around their home the storm-pinched cattle lows,   No nourishment in frozen pasture grows;    Yet frozen pastures every morn resound     With fair abundance thund'ring to the ground.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But wealth is a great means of refinement; and it is a security for gentleness, since it removes disturbing anxieties. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61413]]></link><description><![CDATA[But wealth is a great means of refinement; and it is a security for gentleness, since it removes disturbing anxieties.   - Ik Marvel (pseudonym of Donald G.

It is to such a degree an element of our thinking that we hardly notice it. It has been since the first centuries a standard view, a means to give account of the, indeed, often disappointing state and quality of Christian faith and practice in the Church as it appeared. As such it is understandable; but nevertheless it proceeds more from the counsels of worldly wisdom than from the faith-as-response by which the Church should live, and the call to incessant renewal under which the Church stands as "God's own household", "growing into a holy temple in the Lord". However stubborn and refractory the stuff of ordinary reality may be -- and it is -- the Church, though with clear realism seeing this reality, can never permit itself to put the divine indicatives and imperatives, which are her peculiar directives and points of orientation, behind considerations which are properly speaking worldly in character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you reach for the stars, you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12916]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you reach for the stars, you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wise men are more dependent on fools than fools on wise men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61757]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wise men are more dependent on fools than fools on wise men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I were not Alexander, then should wish to be Diogenes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6050]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I were not Alexander, then should wish to be Diogenes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no simplistic approach to worthwhile achievement in human affairs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/377]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no simplistic approach to worthwhile achievement in human affairs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are not the lead sled dog, the world looks pretty much the same every day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24853]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are not the lead sled dog, the world looks pretty much the same every day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to feel proud of your teammates for coming back and playing.
