Since it happened only once, it is by Hume's standards infinitely improbable. But then, the whole history of the Earth has also happened only once: is it therefore incredible? Hence the difficulty, which weighs upon Christian and atheist alike, of estimating the probability of the Incarnation. It is like asking whether the existence of nature herself is intrinsically probable. That is why it is easier to argue, on historical grounds, that the Incarnation actually occurred than to show, on philosophical grounds, the probability of its occurrence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13989]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace is obtained by war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50696]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace is obtained by war.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11464]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ability to concentrate and to use your time well is everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65703]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ability to concentrate and to use your time well is everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ass Carrying the Image AN ASS once carried through the streets of a city a famous woodenImage, to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1502]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Ass Carrying the Image AN ASS once carried through the streets of a city a famous woodenImage, to be placed in one of its Temples. As he passed along,the crowd made lowly prostration before the Image. The Ass,thinking that they bowed their heads in token of respect forhimself, bristled up with pride, gave himself airs, and refusedto move another step. The driver, seeing him thus stop, laid hiswhip lustily about his shoulders and said, O you perversedull-head! it is not yet come to this, that men pay worship to anAss. They are not wise who give to themselves the credit due to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At least I have the modesty to admit that lack of modesty is one of my failings ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42901]]></link><description><![CDATA[At least I have the modesty to admit that lack of modesty is one of my failings]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By the way, The works of women are symbolical.  We sew, sew, prick our fingers, dull out sight,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62077]]></link><description><![CDATA[By the way, The works of women are symbolical.  We sew, sew, prick our fingers, dull out sight,   Producing what?
