For here we are dealing with processes and events which, by the nature of the case, cannot be precisely described in everyday language...  The matter is quite different with such a statement as that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary; for, whatever aspects of the Incarnation outstrip the descriptive power of ordinary language, this at least is plainly statable in it. It means that Jesus was conceived in his mother's womb without previous sexual intercourse on her part with any male human being, and this is a straightforward statement which is either true or false. To say that the birth... of Jesus Christ cannot simply be thought of as a biological event, and to add that this is [not] what the Virgin Birth means, is a plain misuse of language; and no amount of talk about the appealing character of the "Christmas myth" can validly gloss this over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In ancient times, the sacred Plough employ'd The Kings and awful Fathers of mankind:  And some, with whom compared ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1966]]></link><description><![CDATA[In ancient times, the sacred Plough employ'd The Kings and awful Fathers of mankind:  And some, with whom compared your insect-tribes   Are but the beings of a summer's day,    Have held the Scale of Empire, ruled the Storm     Of mighty War; then, with victorious hand,      Disdaining little delicacies, seized       The Plough, and, greatly independent, scorned        All the vile stores corruption can bestow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some say, compared to Bononcini, That Mynheer Handel's but a ninny;  Others aver, that he to Handel   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some say, compared to Bononcini, That Mynheer Handel's but a ninny;  Others aver, that he to Handel   Is scarcely fit to hold a Candle:    Strange all this difference should be,     'Twixt Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hours that make us happy make us wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22362]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hours that make us happy make us wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is an unutterable sigh, planted in the depths of the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66592]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is an unutterable sigh, planted in the depths of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man.
