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[Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, thereby putting an end to the very ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64614]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, thereby putting an end to the very essence of life]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ghosts only exist for those who wish to see them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57413]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ghosts only exist for those who wish to see them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's just one to throw away in the trash, pick it up tomorrow and play solid baseball. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32650]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's just one to throw away in the trash, pick it up tomorrow and play solid baseball.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our country is that spot to which our heart is bound. [Fr., La patrie est aux lieux ou l'ame est ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25970]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our country is that spot to which our heart is bound. [Fr., La patrie est aux lieux ou l'ame est enchainee.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are a 24-year-old man, you believe that old age begins about 55 [while] if you are a 62-year-old ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33712]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are a 24-year-old man, you believe that old age begins about 55 [while] if you are a 62-year-old woman, you think youth doesn't end until 57.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How gently rock yon poplars high Against the reach of primrose sky  With heaven's pale candles stored. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14254]]></link><description><![CDATA[How gently rock yon poplars high Against the reach of primrose sky  With heaven's pale candles stored.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1492]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54808]]></link><description><![CDATA[The essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame is a constant effort. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fame is a constant effort.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65255]]></link><description><![CDATA[By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who prefers to give Linus the half of what he wishes to borrow, rather than to lend him the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4741]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who prefers to give Linus the half of what he wishes to borrow, rather than to lend him the whole, prefers to lose only the half.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always try to be smart.

Man, a child of God, is a person with a personal destiny and with eternal value. This Christian belief underlies the democratic principle that the State, first of all, exists for the sake of its citizens; the individual is important... As Christians we also believe that we are made for one another because we are made for God. "Solidarity" is a good word for our essential condition. Beneath all our differences is a unity... This Christian belief underlies a second basic democratic principle, which is, in governing themselves, people of a community -- in a town, a city, a state, a nation -- can, despite inevitable conflicts, press effectively toward the goal of justice and liberty for all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I begin by taking.
