[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[This art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62268]]></link><description><![CDATA[This art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one of the secrets of energy in our great men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And now the herald lark Left his ground-nest, high tow'ring to descry  The morn's approach, and greet her with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24097]]></link><description><![CDATA[And now the herald lark Left his ground-nest, high tow'ring to descry  The morn's approach, and greet her with his song.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good Judge conceives quickly, judges slowly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49029]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good Judge conceives quickly, judges slowly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Technically, the recommendation is part of the governor's decision-making process and should remain with the governor until she makes her ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36579]]></link><description><![CDATA[Technically, the recommendation is part of the governor's decision-making process and should remain with the governor until she makes her formal announcement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there are multiple complaints, then my suspicion would be somewhere between the refinery and the tank, the blend encountered ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33796]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there are multiple complaints, then my suspicion would be somewhere between the refinery and the tank, the blend encountered water.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And wilt thou still be hammering treachery To tumble down thy husband and thyself  From top of honor to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12522]]></link><description><![CDATA[And wilt thou still be hammering treachery To tumble down thy husband and thyself  From top of honor to disgrace's feet?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I mean by objectivity is not the objectivity of a machine, but of a sensible human being with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30074]]></link><description><![CDATA[What I mean by objectivity is not the objectivity of a machine, but of a sensible human being with the mystery of personal selection at the heart of it.
