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[Man is the animal that intends to shoot himself out into interplanetary space, after having given up on the problem ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56926]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is the animal that intends to shoot himself out into interplanetary space, after having given up on the problem of an efficient way to get himself five miles to work and back each day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I question not if thrushes sing, If roses load the air;  Beyond my heart I need not reach  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58256]]></link><description><![CDATA[I question not if thrushes sing, If roses load the air;  Beyond my heart I need not reach   When all is summer there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are men who can write poetry, and there are men who can read balance sheets.
