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[Love is blind, friendship closes its eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63611]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is blind, friendship closes its eyes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As you get closer to the election, the likelihood that Congress is going to be able to pass legislation, particularly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34650]]></link><description><![CDATA[As you get closer to the election, the likelihood that Congress is going to be able to pass legislation, particularly on what might be viewed as partisan or difficult issues, diminishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nay, do not think I flatter. For what advancement may I hope from thee,  That no revenue hast but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16169]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nay, do not think I flatter. For what advancement may I hope from thee,  That no revenue hast but thy good spirits   To feed and clothe thee?
