And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. Ideas do not rule the world. But it is because the world has ideas... that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Disarm, disarm.

For here we are dealing with processes and events which, by the nature of the case, cannot be precisely described in everyday language...  The matter is quite different with such a statement as that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary; for, whatever aspects of the Incarnation outstrip the descriptive power of ordinary language, this at least is plainly statable in it. It means that Jesus was conceived in his mother's womb without previous sexual intercourse on her part with any male human being, and this is a straightforward statement which is either true or false. To say that the birth... of Jesus Christ cannot simply be thought of as a biological event, and to add that this is [not] what the Virgin Birth means, is a plain misuse of language; and no amount of talk about the appealing character of the "Christmas myth" can validly gloss this over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once I got there, I noticed that smoke was everywhere, and we noticed that someone had tried to kick one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once I got there, I noticed that smoke was everywhere, and we noticed that someone had tried to kick one of the side doors in to get in the church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot hold mortality's strong hand. -King John.
