A creative genius cannot be trained. There are no schools for creativeness. A genius is precisely a man who defies all schools and rules, who deviates from the traditional roads of routine and opens up new paths through land inaccessible before. A genius is always a teacher, never a pupil; he is always self-made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When he ran from a cop his transitions from accelerating walk to easy jog trot to brisk canter to headlong ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36983]]></link><description><![CDATA[When he ran from a cop his transitions from accelerating walk to easy jog trot to brisk canter to headlong gallop to flogged-piston sprint were as distinct and as soberly in order as an automatic gearshift.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On what strange stuff Ambition feeds! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2316]]></link><description><![CDATA[On what strange stuff Ambition feeds!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What if all the myths were true... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43609]]></link><description><![CDATA[What if all the myths were true...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[That position, Abrams said, led Miller's team to assume that Libby wasn't really keen on seeing Miller testify, no matter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34943]]></link><description><![CDATA[[That position, Abrams said, led Miller's team to assume that Libby wasn't really keen on seeing Miller testify, no matter what Libby's lawyers implied--a hesitation that gave Miller pause.] He didn't call.

But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not in a rush to get divorced because of this health coverage issue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32218]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are not in a rush to get divorced because of this health coverage issue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He makes a solitude, and calls it peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48741]]></link><description><![CDATA[He makes a solitude, and calls it peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That name was a power to rally a nation in the hour of thick-thronging public disasters and calamities; that name ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61256]]></link><description><![CDATA[That name was a power to rally a nation in the hour of thick-thronging public disasters and calamities; that name shone amid the storm of war, a beacon light to cheer and guide the country's friends; it flamed too like a meteor to repel her foes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A truly American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the fact that honor lies in honest toil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23929]]></link><description><![CDATA[A truly American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the fact that honor lies in honest toil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But many a crime deemed innocent on earth Is registered in Heaven; and these no doubt  Have each their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10656]]></link><description><![CDATA[But many a crime deemed innocent on earth Is registered in Heaven; and these no doubt  Have each their record, with a curse annex'd.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only mistake in life is the lesson not learned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62783]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only mistake in life is the lesson not learned.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad luck there, Ricky. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bad luck there, Ricky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The punishment can be remitted; the crime is everlasting. [Lat., Poena potest demi, culpa perennis erit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10667]]></link><description><![CDATA[The punishment can be remitted; the crime is everlasting. [Lat., Poena potest demi, culpa perennis erit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now men say, "I am in no wise prepared for this work, and therefore it cannot be wrought in me," ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8046]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now men say, "I am in no wise prepared for this work, and therefore it cannot be wrought in me," and thus they have an excuse, so that they neither are ready nor in the way to be so. And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica April 14, 1996  This was the fullness of time, when Christ Jesus did come, that the Messiah should come. It was so to the Jews, and it was so to the Gentiles too... Christ hath excommunicated no nation, no shire, no house, no man; He gives none of His ministers leave to say to any man, thou art not redeemed; He gives no wounded or afflicted conscience leave to say to itself, I am not redeemed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are few ways in which a man can be more innocently employed than in getting money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43009]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are few ways in which a man can be more innocently employed than in getting money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43009</guid></item></channel></rss>
