Hence the difficulty, which weighs upon Christian and atheist alike, of estimating the probability of the Incarnation. It is like asking whether the existence of nature herself is intrinsically probable. That is why it is easier to argue, on historical grounds, that the Incarnation actually occurred than to show, on philosophical grounds, the probability of its occurrence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10010]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lean compromise is better than a fat lawsuit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9281]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lean compromise is better than a fat lawsuit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I picked up those little girls that drowned, all I could think about was my grandbabies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37121]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I picked up those little girls that drowned, all I could think about was my grandbabies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silver is of less value than gold, gold than virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silver is of less value than gold, gold than virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As thou these ashes, little brook! will bear Into the Avon, Avon to the tide  Of Severn, Severn to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12641]]></link><description><![CDATA[As thou these ashes, little brook! will bear Into the Avon, Avon to the tide  Of Severn, Severn to the narrow seas,   Into main ocean they, this deed accurst,    An emblem yields to friends and enemies     How the bold teacher's doctrine, sanctified      By truth, shall spread throughout the world dispersed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know my Republican friends were glad to see my wife feeding an elephant in India.
