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[A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65977]]></link><description><![CDATA[A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let no one weep for me, or celebrate my funeral with mourning; for I still live, as I pass to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17048]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let no one weep for me, or celebrate my funeral with mourning; for I still live, as I pass to and fro through the mouths of men]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Overall, we are pretty optimistic.

But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be good and you will be lonesome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be good and you will be lonesome.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only words that ever satisfied me as describing Nature are the terms used in fairy books, charm, spell, enchantment. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43568]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only words that ever satisfied me as describing Nature are the terms used in fairy books, charm, spell, enchantment.
