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[One trouble with trouble is that is usually starts out like fun ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59716]]></link><description><![CDATA[One trouble with trouble is that is usually starts out like fun]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think it's a deal killer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42672]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think it's a deal killer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I kept on digging the hole deeper and deeper looking for the treasure chest until I finally lifted my head, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12750]]></link><description><![CDATA[I kept on digging the hole deeper and deeper looking for the treasure chest until I finally lifted my head, looked up and realized that I had dug my own grave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We always strive for that which is forbidden, and desire that which is denied us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50798]]></link><description><![CDATA[We always strive for that which is forbidden, and desire that which is denied us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The consolidation brought some negative comments.
