But, since we are concerned with an occurrence which is by hypothesis unique in certain relevant aspects, we are most unlikely to be able to give confident answers to them. [Paul M.] van Buren's remarks about biology and the twentieth century are nothing more than rhetoric or, at best, are simply empirical statements about his own psychology. The first century knew as well as the twentieth that dead bodies do not naturally come to life again, and no amount of twentieth-century knowledge about natural processes can tell us what may happen by supernatural means.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try to find your deepest issue in every confusion, and abide by that. - Selected Essays. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27725]]></link><description><![CDATA[Try to find your deepest issue in every confusion, and abide by that. - Selected Essays.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This picture, plac'd the busts between Gives Satire all its strength;  Wisdom and Wit are little seen   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14058]]></link><description><![CDATA[This picture, plac'd the busts between Gives Satire all its strength;  Wisdom and Wit are little seen   While Folly glares at length.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...A being so gentle and so virtuous slander might wound, but could not dishonor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4024]]></link><description><![CDATA[...A being so gentle and so virtuous slander might wound, but could not dishonor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Profan'd the God-given strength, and marr'd the lofty line. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57947]]></link><description><![CDATA[Profan'd the God-given strength, and marr'd the lofty line.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64267]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never fear shadows.

They have nothing to say as from themselves. Their narratives place us without preface, and keep us without comment, among external scenes, in full view of facts, and in contact with the living person whom they teach us to know... Who can fail to recognize a divine provision for placing the disciples of all future ages as nearly as possible in the position of those who had been personally present at "the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God"?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Savages we call them because their manners differ from ours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26360]]></link><description><![CDATA[Savages we call them because their manners differ from ours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[A rep for the event said a reason was not given for the stars' absence (but Garner is due in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29980]]></link><description><![CDATA[[A rep for the event said a reason was not given for the stars' absence (but Garner is due in November) and added,] They're very tight-lipped about their private lives. ... next year there'll be the three of us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fair Venus shines Even in the eye of day; with sweetest beam  Propitious shines, and shakes a trembling flood ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fair Venus shines Even in the eye of day; with sweetest beam  Propitious shines, and shakes a trembling flood   Of softened radiance from her dewy locks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like the lily That once was mistress of the field and flourished,  I'll hang my head and perish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25093]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like the lily That once was mistress of the field and flourished,  I'll hang my head and perish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lack of pep is often mistaken for patience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66311]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lack of pep is often mistaken for patience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we had no reason to go up there to start with there was no weapons of mass destruction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39156]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think we had no reason to go up there to start with there was no weapons of mass destruction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The field is quite new, so its ultimate success at finding new drugs is still unknown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33420]]></link><description><![CDATA[The field is quite new, so its ultimate success at finding new drugs is still unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pilot project verifies that we're delivering [new products] as the customers wanted them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35917]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pilot project verifies that we're delivering [new products] as the customers wanted them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hole calls the thiefe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49871]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hole calls the thiefe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature.
