Thus he dangles before man's fantasy a kingdom of faith, of power, and of peace, into which only he can enter who consents to the temptations; and he conceals from men that he, as the devil, is the most unfortunate and unhappy of beings, since he is finally and eternally rejected by God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The alligator's popular, ...

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[He carries well, to whom it waighes not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49312]]></link><description><![CDATA[He carries well, to whom it waighes not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is far more opportunity than there is ability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45090]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is far more opportunity than there is ability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maybe this is why so many serial killers work in pairs.
