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[Though bitter, good medicine cures illness.

The skeptical Greek philosopher may remind us that, after all, the image of Athena is only a symbol, only a means of fixing one's rambling thoughts upon the spirit that is Athena. Yet the idolater will persist in losing sight of the forest for the trees, and the god for the image. The gold and ivory statue of Athena becomes holy in itself, an answerer of prayer, a mysterious source of power, a material object somehow different from other objects. The crucifix, the plaster image, the saint's relic or miraculous medal or cheaply and illegibly printed Bible may become themselves things considered holy and magical, able to stop a bullet. Worse yet, the god confined in an image is a shrunken and powerless god. Because you have limited your concept of God to a man shape on a carved crucifix, you may be in danger of inferring that you are free to outrage the man shapes walking and breathing around you. Because you worship the god in a specially baked wafer and a specially designed chalice, you may forget to worship the God of all bread and all wine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language helps form the limits of our reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24038]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language helps form the limits of our reality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't get acting jobs because of my looks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1221]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't get acting jobs because of my looks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Monica, Mother of Augustine of Hippo, 387  Christianity is pre-eminently the religion of the heart.

It does not always ask words, but it always wants work. The motives and not the means are the things on which it passes judgment. And the man who shows by his life that he is not ashamed of the Gospel will assuredly one day find that the Gospel is not ashamed of him. There is much more which might be said, but I refrain. Ere I close, you will let me add my emphasis to the fact that it is in our life and conduct that we must show our devotion to Christ. The silent Gospel reaches further than the grandest rhetoric.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the want, but rather abundance that creates avarice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/233]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the want, but rather abundance that creates avarice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That does not stop people in those relationships from going through legal means of getting for instance, health care power ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39291]]></link><description><![CDATA[That does not stop people in those relationships from going through legal means of getting for instance, health care power of attorney.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities; an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45196]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities; an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art must take reality by surprise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53035]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art must take reality by surprise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like hungry guests, a sitting audience looks; Plays are like suppers; poets are the cooks.  The founder's you: the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/420]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like hungry guests, a sitting audience looks; Plays are like suppers; poets are the cooks.  The founder's you: the table is the place:   The carvers we: the prologue is the grace.    Each act, a course, each scene, a different dish,     Though we're in Lent, I doubt you're still for flesh.      Satire's the sauce, high-season'd, sharp and rough.       Kind masks and beaux, I hope you're pepperproof?        Wit is the wine; but 'tis so scarce the true         Poets, like vintners, balderdash and brew.          Your surly scenes, where rant and bloodshed join.           Are butcher's meat, a battle's sirloin:            Your scenes of love, so flowing, soft and chaste,             Are water-gruel without salt or taste.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the true tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5100]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the true tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He doth entreat your grace, my noble lord, To visit him to-morrow or next day:  He is within, with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26794]]></link><description><![CDATA[He doth entreat your grace, my noble lord, To visit him to-morrow or next day:  He is within, with two right reverend fathers,   Divinely bent to meditation,    And in no worldly suits would he be moved     To draw him from his holy exercise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873   Here [in the Gospels] is something that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6405]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873   Here [in the Gospels] is something that the layman can hold on to, quite apart from the vagaries of critical scholarship, for it is a portrait unaffected by the authenticity of any particular saying or story. Such an encounter with the historical Jesus is, of course, not the same as Christian faith in him. Even Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate encountered him in this way. Christian faith is still a matter of decision -- either this Man is God's redemptive act, or he is not. Nor is the historical Jesus the object of our faith. That object is the Risen Christ preached by the Church. But the Risen Christ is in continuity with the historical Jesus, and it is the historical Jesus which makes the Risen Christ not just an abstraction, but clothes him with flesh and blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A billion here and a billion there, and soon you're talking about real money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47011]]></link><description><![CDATA[A billion here and a billion there, and soon you're talking about real money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little curly-headed, good-for-nothing, And mischief-making monkey from his birth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5901]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little curly-headed, good-for-nothing, And mischief-making monkey from his birth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bear and forbear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bear and forbear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who are more adapted to the active life can prepare themselves for contemplation in the practice of the active ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1423]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who are more adapted to the active life can prepare themselves for contemplation in the practice of the active life, while those who are more adapted to the contemplative life can take upon themselves the works of the active life so as to become yet more apt for contemplation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not dying for faith that's so hard, it's living up to it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15042]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not dying for faith that's so hard, it's living up to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew there was going to be some serious hitting going on, but I tell you what. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37469]]></link><description><![CDATA[I knew there was going to be some serious hitting going on, but I tell you what.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can't hold back because the student movement will continue and there could be some risks.
