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[Fire in each eye, and papers in each hand, They rave, recite, and madden round the land. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fire in each eye, and papers in each hand, They rave, recite, and madden round the land.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes the sanest thing to do is just wallow in the misery for a while.

Now, mind you, that is quite true; but it tells you much less than the whole truth about Christianity, and it has no practical importance at all. It is quite true that, if we took Christ's advice, we should soon be living in a happier world. You need not even go as far as Christ. If we did all that... Confucius told us, we should get on a great deal better than we do. And so what?... If Christianity only means one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance. There has been no lack of good advice for the last four thousand years. A bit more makes no difference.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One never rises so high as when one does not know where one is going. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58135]]></link><description><![CDATA[One never rises so high as when one does not know where one is going.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The absurdity of it gets played out in the day-to-day lives of Border Patrol agents.
