[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[The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern.

To our amazement, it works out. And then we settle down. We have had our own first-hand and irrefutable experience. But, instead of opening the windows to the glory of the sunshine so evidently there, instead of being incited to a hugeness of faith by what Christ has already done for us, we can't believe that there can be anything more, or that even He can work, for us, anything better. That first foretaste satisfies us. And so we camp for life out on the confines of the Kingdom, and never press on to inherit what is there and meant for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had I but written as many odes in praise of Muhammad and Ali as I have composed for King Mahmud, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Had I but written as many odes in praise of Muhammad and Ali as I have composed for King Mahmud, they would have showered a hundred blessings on me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect It's successful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62907]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect It's successful outcome]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2346]]></link><description><![CDATA[A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself.
