What we can see is that both an incarnation and a virginal conception were thoroughly appropriate to the needs and circumstances of the case and were more "natural", in the sense of more appropriate, than the alternatives... In practice, denial of the virginal conception or inability to see its relevance almost always goes with an inadequate understanding of the Incarnation and of the Christian religion in general.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easy at any moment to resign the possession of a great fortune; to acquire it is difficult and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61406]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easy at any moment to resign the possession of a great fortune; to acquire it is difficult and arduous. [Lat., Facile est momento quo quis velit, cedere possessione magnae fortunae; facere et parare eam, difficile atque arduum est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Memories are all we really own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26961]]></link><description><![CDATA[Memories are all we really own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wicked deeds are generally done, even with impunity, for the mere desire of occupation. [Lat., Solent occupationis spe vel impune ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10651]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wicked deeds are generally done, even with impunity, for the mere desire of occupation. [Lat., Solent occupationis spe vel impune quaedam scelesta committi.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is an incurable disease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is an incurable disease.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The need for a college education is even more important now than it was before, but I think that the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66662]]></link><description><![CDATA[The need for a college education is even more important now than it was before, but I think that the increased costs are a very severe obstacle to access.

The American standard of living has risen to unprecedented heights, although a large portion of the world exists on a sub-human level. Philanthropy, as we practice it, is not enough --- although the word philanthropy actually means brotherhood.
