Conviction in the midst of waverers, fiery energy in a world of disillusion, purity in an age of easy morals, firm brotherhood in a loose society, heroic courage in a time of persecution, formed a problem that could not be set aside, however polite society might affect to ignore it: and the religion of the future turned on the answer to it.

When, through the operation of such laws, surprising events take place, [we may] cry out, ...

[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[Because of their courage, their lack of fear, they (creative people) are willing to make silly mistakes.

The truly creative person is one who can think crazy; such a person knows full well that many of his great ideas will prove to be worthless. The creative person is flexible -- he is able to change as the situation changes, to break habits, to face indecision and changes in conditions without undue stress. He is not threatened by the unexpected as rigid, inflexible people are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men who ape the saint and play the sinner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50468]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men who ape the saint and play the sinner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The monuments of wit survive the monuments of power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52372]]></link><description><![CDATA[The monuments of wit survive the monuments of power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are no better than you should be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27856]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are no better than you should be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eighty percent of success is showing up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eighty percent of success is showing up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One may as well dam for water tanks the people's cathedrals and churches, for no holier temple has ever been ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66179]]></link><description><![CDATA[One may as well dam for water tanks the people's cathedrals and churches, for no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way is not in the sky.
