Every act of goodwill permanently and sensibly increases goodwill. Trifling acts of goodwill are often more efficacious in this way than great ones. A flower given in kindness and at the right time profits more, both to giver and receiver, than some vast material benefit in which the goodwill is hidden by the magnitude of the act. Some little, sensible, individual touch from the hand of our Lord may convert the heart more than the contemplation of His death for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Microsoft has stepped up to the plate in a way we've never seen before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31920]]></link><description><![CDATA[Microsoft has stepped up to the plate in a way we've never seen before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some days it is a heroic act just to refuse the paralysis of fear and straighten up and step into ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34309]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some days it is a heroic act just to refuse the paralysis of fear and straighten up and step into another day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, Teacher, 1153 Commemoration of William & Catherine Booth, Founders of the Salvation Army, 1912 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7967]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, Teacher, 1153 Commemoration of William & Catherine Booth, Founders of the Salvation Army, 1912 & 1890 O Jesus, King most wonderful!   O Conqueror renowned! O Source of peace ineffable,   In whom all joys are found:  When once you visit darkened hearts   Then truth begins to shine, Then earthly vanity departs,   Then kindles love divine. O Jesus, light of all below,   The fount of life and fire,  Surpassing all the joys we know,   All that we can desire: May ev'ry heart confess your name,   Forever you adore, And, seeking you, itself inflame   To seek you more and more!
