When I clear my mind and let the music take over, my hands seem to move on their own, and my voice utters words I haven't premeditated. This is pure instinct. It's like riding a wave. You just take a deep breath, hop on, and hang on as long as you can. That's basically how I songwrite when I'm composing impromptu pieces. It's a lot like channeling. Or free associating. And it's super fun, because anything can happen! It's pure creativity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things are God's already; we can give him no right, by consecrating any, that he had not before, only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7461]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things are God's already; we can give him no right, by consecrating any, that he had not before, only we set it apart to his service -- just as a gardener brings his master a basket of apricots, and presents them; his lord thanks him, and perhaps gives him something for his pains, and yet the apricots were as much his lord's before as now.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A big part of leadership is just being comfortable with the fact that some decisions really are only yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66581]]></link><description><![CDATA[A big part of leadership is just being comfortable with the fact that some decisions really are only yours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!" ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54950]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're aware of it.

Not only has liberty nothing to do with any other sort of equality, but it is even bound to produce inequality in many respects. This is the necessary result and part of the justification of individual liberty: if the result of individual liberty did not demonstrate that some manners of living are more successful than others, much of the case for it would vanish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's going to be a Major League pitcher -- we caught lightning in a bottle when we acquired this guy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30289]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's going to be a Major League pitcher -- we caught lightning in a bottle when we acquired this guy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis solitude should teach us how to die; It hath no flatterers; vanity can give  No hollow aid; alone--man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57167]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis solitude should teach us how to die; It hath no flatterers; vanity can give  No hollow aid; alone--man with his God must strive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When defeat is inevitable, it is wisest to yield. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11800]]></link><description><![CDATA[When defeat is inevitable, it is wisest to yield.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the base of the eyelash is an invisiblemite.Ask not what your mite can do for youbut what you can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26637]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the base of the eyelash is an invisiblemite.Ask not what your mite can do for youbut what you can do for your mite.And remember, mite makes right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I felt like Jesus being lifted up, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34318]]></link><description><![CDATA[I felt like Jesus being lifted up,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time it seemed like we were coming back or could come back, they got a blocked shot or we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40722]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every time it seemed like we were coming back or could come back, they got a blocked shot or we took a bad shot or turned the ball over.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talent, like beauty, to be pardoned, must be obscure and unostentatious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talent, like beauty, to be pardoned, must be obscure and unostentatious.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Someone born in Brazil is an American.

Born in a manger, and crucified as a malefactor, He now controls the destinies of the civilized world, and rules a spiritual empire which embraces one-third of the inhabitants of the globe. There never was in this world a life so unpretending, modest, and lowly in its outward form and condition, and yet producing such extraordinary effects upon all ages, nations, and classes of men. The annals of history produce no other example of such complete and astonishing success in spite of the absence of those material, social, literary, and artistic powers and influences which are indispensable to success for a mere man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Westward the course of empire takes its way; The four first Acts already past,  A fifth shall close the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Westward the course of empire takes its way; The four first Acts already past,  A fifth shall close the Drama with the day;   Time's noblest offspring is the last.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let's not quibble!

They never fail to help widows; they save orphans from those who would hurt them. If a man has something, he gives freely to the man who has nothing. If they see a stranger, Christians take him home and are happy, as though he were a real brother. They don't consider themselves brothers in the usual sense, but brothers instead through the Spirit, in God. And if they hear that one of them is in jail, or persecuted for professing the name of their redeemer, they all give him what he needs -- if it is possible, they bail him out. If one of them is poor and there isn't enough food to go around, they fast several days to give him the food he needs... This is really a new kind of person. There is something divine in them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The opposition Press] which is in the hands of malecontents who have failed in their career. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23325]]></link><description><![CDATA[[The opposition Press] which is in the hands of malecontents who have failed in their career.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think writing about unhappiness is probably the source of my popularity, if I have any-after all, most people are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60092]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think writing about unhappiness is probably the source of my popularity, if I have any-after all, most people are unhappy, don't you think?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Up here in the north country (areas with high levels of snow), we'd like to see 10 percent more deer, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Up here in the north country (areas with high levels of snow), we'd like to see 10 percent more deer, in the middle snow fall zone we could have up to 50 percent more deer, and in southern areas where we have a lot of agriculture in the landscape, perhaps around 15 percent fewer deer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the persistence of noise comes the insistence of rage.
