But, since we are concerned with an occurrence which is by hypothesis unique in certain relevant aspects, we are most unlikely to be able to give confident answers to them. [Paul M.] van Buren's remarks about biology and the twentieth century are nothing more than rhetoric or, at best, are simply empirical statements about his own psychology. The first century knew as well as the twentieth that dead bodies do not naturally come to life again, and no amount of twentieth-century knowledge about natural processes can tell us what may happen by supernatural means.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes, the only realists are the dreamers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65128]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes, the only realists are the dreamers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fund-raising environment is consistently more competitive.

Sometimes migrating groups of potato-washers meet non-washers, and the two groups watch each other's strange behavior with apparent bewilderment. But unlike the inhabitants of Lilliput, who fought holy crusades over the question at which end to break the egg, the potato-washing monkeys do not go to war with the non-washers, because the poor creatures have no language which would enable them to declare washing a diving commandment and eating unwashed potatoes a deadly heresy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never set limits, go after your dreams, don't be afraid to push the boundaries.
