They never fail to help widows; they save orphans from those who would hurt them. If a man has something, he gives freely to the man who has nothing. If they see a stranger, Christians take him home and are happy, as though he were a real brother. They don't consider themselves brothers in the usual sense, but brothers instead through the Spirit, in God. And if they hear that one of them is in jail, or persecuted for professing the name of their redeemer, they all give him what he needs -- if it is possible, they bail him out. If one of them is poor and there isn't enough food to go around, they fast several days to give him the food he needs... This is really a new kind of person. There is something divine in them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The perfection of an art consists in the employment of a comprehensive system of laws, commensurate to every purpose within ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3183]]></link><description><![CDATA[The perfection of an art consists in the employment of a comprehensive system of laws, commensurate to every purpose within its scope, but concealed from the eye of the spectator; and in the production of effects that seem to flow forth spontaneously, as though uncontrolled by their influence, and which are equally excellent, whether regarded individually, or in reference to the proposed result.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's just an incredible year, a dream season for us.
