I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them the revelation of God to men was made, or appeared to be made, less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45433]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indecision is the graveyard of good intentions ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Indecision is the graveyard of good intentions]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Mill gets by going. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49894]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Mill gets by going.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am the emperor, and I want dumplings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27900]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am the emperor, and I want dumplings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I told [GM] Roland Hemond to go out and get me a big name pitcher.

Since it happened only once, it is by Hume's standards infinitely improbable. But then, the whole history of the Earth has also happened only once: is it therefore incredible? Hence the difficulty, which weighs upon Christian and atheist alike, of estimating the probability of the Incarnation. It is like asking whether the existence of nature herself is intrinsically probable. That is why it is easier to argue, on historical grounds, that the Incarnation actually occurred than to show, on philosophical grounds, the probability of its occurrence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As winds come whispering lightly from the West, Kissing, not ruffling, the blue deep's serene. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61638]]></link><description><![CDATA[As winds come whispering lightly from the West, Kissing, not ruffling, the blue deep's serene.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love me, I'll be anyobdy you want me to be.
