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[A novice always behaves with propriety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50614]]></link><description><![CDATA[A novice always behaves with propriety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[His posse of longtime pals provides another outlet.] They carry on like your classic 'boys will be boys,' ... knows ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29123]]></link><description><![CDATA[[His posse of longtime pals provides another outlet.] They carry on like your classic 'boys will be boys,' ... knows who his friends are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mr. Keating: Carpe Diem!
