Now, I do not want here to discuss whether the miraculous is possible: I only want to point out that this is a purely philosophical question. Scholars, as scholars, speak on it with no more authority than anyone else. The canon, "If miraculous, unhistorical", is one they bring to their study of the texts, not one they have learned from it. If one is speaking of authority, the united authority of all the Biblical critics in the world counts for nothing. On this they speak simply as men -- men obviously influenced by, and perhaps insufficiently critical of, the spirit of the age they grew up in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639  It is, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639  It is, of course, impossible to exaggerate the importance of the historicity of what is commonly known as the Resurrection. If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drinking will make a man quaff, Quaffing will make a man sing,  Singing will make a man laugh,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Drinking will make a man quaff, Quaffing will make a man sing,  Singing will make a man laugh,   And laughing long life doth bring,    Says old Simon the King.   - Unattributed Author, Old Sir Simon the King,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enjoy the spring of love and youth, To some good angel leave the rest,  For time will teach thee ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enjoy the spring of love and youth, To some good angel leave the rest,  For time will teach thee soon the truth,   "There are no birds in last year's nest."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cutting up fowl to predict the future is, if done honestly and with as little interpretation as possible, a kind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cutting up fowl to predict the future is, if done honestly and with as little interpretation as possible, a kind of randomization.

We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like that best as I am so hairy ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29983]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like that best as I am so hairy]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/108]]></link><description><![CDATA[From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a sad moment, really, when parents first become a bit frightened of their children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6016]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a sad moment, really, when parents first become a bit frightened of their children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[heat from impending searches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38669]]></link><description><![CDATA[heat from impending searches.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simon sustained a low-grade groin injury.

It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it "joy"?.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As is the mother, so is her daughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48567]]></link><description><![CDATA[As is the mother, so is her daughter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never get a mime talking.

De Tocqueville in his researches into the state of society in France before the revolution was struck by the discovery that "in no one of the periods which have followed the Revolution of 1789 has the national prosperity of France augmented more rapidly than it did in the twenty years preceding that event." He is forced to conclude that "the French found their position the more intolerable the better it became.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The umpires are closer than we are.
