But, since we are concerned with an occurrence which is by hypothesis unique in certain relevant aspects, we are most unlikely to be able to give confident answers to them. [Paul M.] van Buren's remarks about biology and the twentieth century are nothing more than rhetoric or, at best, are simply empirical statements about his own psychology. The first century knew as well as the twentieth that dead bodies do not naturally come to life again, and no amount of twentieth-century knowledge about natural processes can tell us what may happen by supernatural means.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58711]]></link><description><![CDATA[No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why don't you start believing that no matter what you have or haven't done, that your best days are still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64781]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why don't you start believing that no matter what you have or haven't done, that your best days are still out in front of you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eighty percent of married men cheat in America.

He is both Father and Son bound together in one Spirit. We are created to be brothers under God, the Father. The human family is our best illustration of how each person grows in his unique potentialities by sharing in the loving care of a society of other persons. Yet each member of the family discovers what it is to give of himself for the sake of the others. The human family is only an analogy both for our thought about God and about society; but no Christian thought gets very far away from it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody roots for Goliath. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody roots for Goliath.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All parents believe their children can do the impossible.

Frederick Ward Kates  September 2, 2000 Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942   The apostles were moved, not so much by an intellectual apprehension, as by a spiritual illumination. They met men, and the need of those men whom they met cried aloud to them. Their own desire for the revelation of the glory of Jesus in the salvation of men went out towards those whom they met, and was immediately answered by the recognition of the need of those whom they met for Jesus Christ.   ... Roland Allen, Pentecost and the World  ... Also see comments on this book in Bookworms September 3, 2000 Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604   The task is not, in essence, the securing of uniformity, or cooperation, or Church reunion, or any of the external forms, through which nevertheless the unity may be manifested. Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.   ... G. T. Manley, Christian Unity  September 4, 2000 Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650   If all you have found [in Christianity] is advantage, whether it is fun or profit or security, then you haven't started following Him yet. His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to believe a lie that one has heard a thousand times than to believe a fact that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14893]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to believe a lie that one has heard a thousand times than to believe a fact that no one has heard before]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We received a grant through the Discovery Project to visit the Portland Art Museum, the Oregon Historical Society, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30505]]></link><description><![CDATA[We received a grant through the Discovery Project to visit the Portland Art Museum, the Oregon Historical Society, and the Oregon Zoo.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dark the Night, with breath all flowers, And tender broken voice that fills  With ravishment the listening hours,--  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44523]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dark the Night, with breath all flowers, And tender broken voice that fills  With ravishment the listening hours,--   Whisperings, wooings,    Liquid ripples, and soft ring-dove cooings     In low-toned rhythm that love's aching stills!      Dark the night       Yet is she bright,        For in her dark she brings the mystic star,         Trembling yet strong, as is the voice of love,          From some unknown afar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comedy is second nature for me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29503]]></link><description><![CDATA[Comedy is second nature for me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, my deliberate opinion is - it's a jolly strange world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, my deliberate opinion is - it's a jolly strange world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The series is not reactive, not angry, not a debate; it's reflective and premeditated.
