You may attribute miracles to Him, but not nonsense. This is no limit to His power. If you choose to say, "God can give a creature free will and at the same time withhold free will from it", you have not succeeded in saying anything about God: meaningless combinations of words do not suddenly acquire meaning simply because we prefix to them the two other words "God can." It remains true that all things are possible with God: the intrinsic impossibilities are not things but nonentities. It is no more possible for God than for the weakest of His creatures to carry out both of two mutually exclusive alternatives -- not because His power meets an obstacle, but because nonsense remains nonsense even when we talk it about God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How much better a thing it is to be envied than to be pitied. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14046]]></link><description><![CDATA[How much better a thing it is to be envied than to be pitied.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Holy Cross  If I am afraid to speak the truth lest I lose affection, or lest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7659]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Holy Cross  If I am afraid to speak the truth lest I lose affection, or lest the one concerned should say, "You do not understand", or because I fear to lose my reputation for kindness; if I put my own good name before the other's highest good, then I know nothing of Calvary love.

Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every animal loves itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48832]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every animal loves itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Support a compatriot against a native, however the former may blunder or plunder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Support a compatriot against a native, however the former may blunder or plunder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No season now for calm, familiar talk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58613]]></link><description><![CDATA[No season now for calm, familiar talk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education, n.: That which discloses the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13544]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education, n.: That which discloses the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["There beauty half her glory veils, In cabs, those gondolas on wheels." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25405]]></link><description><![CDATA["There beauty half her glory veils, In cabs, those gondolas on wheels."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess that there isn't a better time for it.
