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[To every journey in life, how you begin matters much but who and what the journey makes you become in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62932]]></link><description><![CDATA[To every journey in life, how you begin matters much but who and what the journey makes you become in the end matters much more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a great romance, each person basically plays a part that the other really likes ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34435]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a great romance, each person basically plays a part that the other really likes]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I kiss you, it tastes like heaven... so sweet, loving, kind, and caring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23848]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I kiss you, it tastes like heaven... so sweet, loving, kind, and caring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, A Death in the Family, Shorter Fiction ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36986]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, A Death in the Family, Shorter Fiction]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Protection and patriotism are reciprocal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46944]]></link><description><![CDATA[Protection and patriotism are reciprocal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As by the way of innuendo Lucus is made a non lucendo. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59678]]></link><description><![CDATA[As by the way of innuendo Lucus is made a non lucendo.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20117]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jupiter and the MonkeyJupiter issued a proclamation to all the beasts of the forest and promised a royal reward to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jupiter and the MonkeyJupiter issued a proclamation to all the beasts of the forest and promised a royal reward to the one whose offspring should be deemed the handsomest.
