You may attribute miracles to Him, but not nonsense. This is no limit to His power. If you choose to say, "God can give a creature free will and at the same time withhold free will from it", you have not succeeded in saying anything about God: meaningless combinations of words do not suddenly acquire meaning simply because we prefix to them the two other words "God can." It remains true that all things are possible with God: the intrinsic impossibilities are not things but nonentities. It is no more possible for God than for the weakest of His creatures to carry out both of two mutually exclusive alternatives -- not because His power meets an obstacle, but because nonsense remains nonsense even when we talk it about God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[no man who has once heartily and wholly laughed can be altogether irreclaimably bad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24206]]></link><description><![CDATA[no man who has once heartily and wholly laughed can be altogether irreclaimably bad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But, you object, a heart like mine can offer Christ so little -- at best, so poor and pinched and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7468]]></link><description><![CDATA[But, you object, a heart like mine can offer Christ so little -- at best, so poor and pinched and stingey a hospitality and such meagre fare; for I have nothing worthy of Him to set before Him, only a kind of affection, real enough at times, but which, at others, can and does so easily forget; only a will, quite unreliable, deplorably unstable; only a faith that is the merest shadow of what His real friends mean when they speak about faith, I know. But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Black cat or white cat, it's a good cat that catches the mice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Black cat or white cat, it's a good cat that catches the mice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The inevitable has always found me ready and hopeful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65278]]></link><description><![CDATA[The inevitable has always found me ready and hopeful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Find a need and fill it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44104]]></link><description><![CDATA[Find a need and fill it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The interest is so intense at some Southern California schools that students might start rioting if their school didn't have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37994]]></link><description><![CDATA[The interest is so intense at some Southern California schools that students might start rioting if their school didn't have an academic decathlon coach.
