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://maxioms.com/maxiom/6449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes questions are more important than answers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10852]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes questions are more important than answers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15897]]></link><description><![CDATA[The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great minds have purposes, others have wishes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great minds have purposes, others have wishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Care should be taken that the punishment does not exceed the guilt; and also that some men do not suffer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Care should be taken that the punishment does not exceed the guilt; and also that some men do not suffer for offenses for which others are not even indicted. [Lat., Cavendum est ne major poena quam culpa sit; et ne iisdem de causis alii plectantur, alii ne appellentur quidem.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20394]]></link><description><![CDATA[To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll have signs showing the way, and students also will be available to direct people to the choir room. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31238]]></link><description><![CDATA[We'll have signs showing the way, and students also will be available to direct people to the choir room.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are born believing.

I reply, What if God does not care to have you know it at second-hand? What if there would be no good in that? There is some testimony on record, and perhaps there might be much more were it not that, having to do with things so immediately personal, and generally so delicate, answers to prayer would naturally not often be talked about; but no testimony concerning the thing can well be conclusive; for, like a reported miracle, there is always some way to daff it; and besides, the conviction to be got that way is of little value: it avails nothing to know the thing by the best of evidence... `But if God is so good as you represent Him, and if He knows all that we need, and better far than we do ourselves, why should it be necessary to ask Him for anything?" In answer, What if He knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most? What if the main object in God's idea of prayer be the supplying of our great, our endless need -- the need of Himself?

As a plain matter of fact, religion in this country is generally regarded as a tolerated pastime for such people as happen to like to indulge in occasional godly exercises -- as a strictly private matter in an increasingly close-knit and socially acting society -- in other words, as something that does not count. I should like to see the Church recognize that it has been pushed into the realm of the non-essentials, and to persuade it to fight like fury for the right and the duty to bring every act of America and Americans before the bar of God's judgment. [Christian leaders] are making valiant claim to such a right and duty; but the great mass of Church members are content to regard the Church as a conglomerate of private culture clubs, nice for christenings, weddings and funerals. Most Church members readily agree with the unchurched majority that it is not the proper business of the Church to criticize America or Americans.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Labour as long liu'd, pray as even dying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49589]]></link><description><![CDATA[Labour as long liu'd, pray as even dying.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot step into the same river twice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64893]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot step into the same river twice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this and like communities, public sentiment is everything.
