What we can see is that both an incarnation and a virginal conception were thoroughly appropriate to the needs and circumstances of the case and were more "natural", in the sense of more appropriate, than the alternatives... In practice, denial of the virginal conception or inability to see its relevance almost always goes with an inadequate understanding of the Incarnation and of the Christian religion in general.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience is a comb that life gives you after you lose your hair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14719]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience is a comb that life gives you after you lose your hair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ultimate of being successful is the luxury of giving yourself the time to do what you want to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26071]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ultimate of being successful is the luxury of giving yourself the time to do what you want to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never, never, never, never give up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43235]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never, never, never, never give up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm impressed with the innovation of the students.
