The stroke that came transmitted through a whole galaxy of elastic balls, was it less a stroke than if the last ball only had been struck, and sent flying? Oh, could I transport thee direct from the Beginnings to the Endings, how were thy eyesight unsealed, and thy heart set flaming in the Light-sea of celestial wonder! Then sawest thou that this fair Universe, were it in the meanest province thereof, is in very deed the star-domed City of God; that through every star, through every grass-blade, and most through every Living Soul, the glory of a present God still beams. But Nature, which is the Time-vesture of God and reveals Him to the wise, hides Him from the foolish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Candor is a proof of both a just frame of mind, and of a good tone of breeding.

[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[Alas, by what rude fate Our lives, like ships at sea, an instant meet,  Then part forever on their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas, by what rude fate Our lives, like ships at sea, an instant meet,  Then part forever on their courses fleet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So well she acted all and every part By turns--with that vivacious versatility,  Which many people take for want ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5643]]></link><description><![CDATA[So well she acted all and every part By turns--with that vivacious versatility,  Which many people take for want of heart.   They err--'tis merely what is call'd mobility,    A thing of temperament and not of art,     Though seeming so, from its supposed facility;      And false--though true; for surely they're sincerest       Who are strongly acted on by what is nearest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A blind man will not thank you for a looking-glass. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4327]]></link><description><![CDATA[A blind man will not thank you for a looking-glass.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language is a mixture of statement and evocation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24041]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language is a mixture of statement and evocation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women dress alike all over the world: they dress to be annoying to other women. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12966]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women dress alike all over the world: they dress to be annoying to other women.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In those parts of the world where learning and science has prevailed, miracles have ceased; but in those parts of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34748]]></link><description><![CDATA[In those parts of the world where learning and science has prevailed, miracles have ceased; but in those parts of it as are barbarous and ignorant, miracles are still in vogue]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can remember way back when a liberal was one who was generous with his own money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24654]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can remember way back when a liberal was one who was generous with his own money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is an hour wherein a man might be happy all his life, could he find it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49951]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is an hour wherein a man might be happy all his life, could he find it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your damned nonsense can I stand twice or once, but sometimes always, by God, never. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your damned nonsense can I stand twice or once, but sometimes always, by God, never.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Michael & All Angels  When a man really gives up trying to make something out of himself ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Michael & All Angels  When a man really gives up trying to make something out of himself -- a saint, or a converted sinner, or a churchman, a righteous or unrighteous man, ... when in the fullness of tasks, questions, success or ill-hap, experiences and perplexities, a man throws himself into the arms of God... then he wakes with Christ in Gethsemane.
