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[Well I just figure any man who risks his neck to save a dog's life isn't going to kill someone ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29013]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well I just figure any man who risks his neck to save a dog's life isn't going to kill someone for gold teeth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65080]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can control a man’s thinking, you don’t have to worry about his actions.

But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The big news in this report is that children's status is improving and continuing to get better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34094]]></link><description><![CDATA[The big news in this report is that children's status is improving and continuing to get better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can build a business up big enough, it is respectable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5068]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can build a business up big enough, it is respectable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What one day gives us, another takes away from us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50057]]></link><description><![CDATA[What one day gives us, another takes away from us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who are you to judge the life I live?

You see, gentlemen, how I would answer that question. You are deceived in thinking that the morality of your father was based on Christianity. On the contrary, Christianity presupposed it. That morality stands exactly where it did; its basis has not been withdrawn, for, in a sense, it never had a basis. The ultimate ethical injunctions have always been premises, never conclusions. Kant was perfectly right on that point at least, the imperative is categorical. Unless the ethical is assumed from the outset, no argument will bring you to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life does not accomodate you, it shatters you.
