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[I teach that all are men are mad. [Lat., Doceo insanire omnes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21019]]></link><description><![CDATA[I teach that all are men are mad. [Lat., Doceo insanire omnes.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord Jesus Christ!

A whole life long didst thou suffer that I too might be saved; and yet thy suffering is not yet at an end; but this too wilt thou endure, saving and redeeming me, this patient suffering of having to do with me, I who so often go astray from the right path, or even when I remained on the straight path stumbled along it or crept so slowly along the right path. Infinite patience, suffering of infinite patience. How many times have I not been impatient, wished to give up and forsake everything; wished to take the terribly easy way out, despair: but thou didst not lose patience. Oh, I cannot say what thy chosen servant says: that he filled up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in his flesh; no, I can only say that I increased thy sufferings, added new ones to those which thou didst once suffer in order to save me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fond man! the vision of a moment made! Dream of a dream! and shadow of a shade! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fond man! the vision of a moment made! Dream of a dream! and shadow of a shade!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basically, ... he was telling the guys not to take things for granted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38172]]></link><description><![CDATA[Basically, ... he was telling the guys not to take things for granted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mr. Keating: Seize the day!

Had that been the case, it is not too bold to say that the new religion could not have conquered the Empire. It was because Christianity appealed direct to the people, addressed them in their own language, and made itself comprehensible to them on their own plane of thought, that it met the needs and filled the heart of the Roman world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am bigger than anything that can happen to me.

You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying.
