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[Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40042]]></link><description><![CDATA[Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laws were made to be broken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laws were made to be broken.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65558]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship needs no words—it is a loneliness relieved of the anguish of loneliness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship needs no words—it is a loneliness relieved of the anguish of loneliness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History, as it lies at the root of all science, is also the first distinct product of man's spiritual nature; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19320]]></link><description><![CDATA[History, as it lies at the root of all science, is also the first distinct product of man's spiritual nature; his earliest expression of what can be called Thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we do here also affects the county -- and vice versa. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37738]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we do here also affects the county -- and vice versa.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968  The great thing, and the only thing, is to adore and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7769]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968  The great thing, and the only thing, is to adore and praise God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano,— A stage, where every man must play a part; And mine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55542]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano,— A stage, where every man must play a part; And mine a sad one. -The Merchant of Venice.
