You have to make the intuitive leap. But the difference is that once you've made the intuitive leap you have to justify it by filling in the intermediate steps. In my case, it often happens that I have an idea, but then I try to fill in the intermediate steps and find that they don't work, so I have to give it up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is more or less bunk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19331]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is more or less bunk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of William Tyndale, Translator of the Scriptures, Martyr, 1536  If those who say that we must preach the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of William Tyndale, Translator of the Scriptures, Martyr, 1536  If those who say that we must preach the same message as Paul and the other apostles mean that we should also exhibit the same adaptability and sensitivity to the background culture, then they are right... If, however, they mean that we should expect results merely by repeating the actual phrases found in the New Testament, then they are mistaken. They are making, in fact, one of the basic mistakes in verbal communication, which is to confuse words with what they describe. The gospel is something God has done, not a series of phrases describing it. Saying this does not undermine the Christian's belief in the inspiration of the Bible, for the important thing about the Bible is what it talks about, rather than the way it does the talking. If we considered that there was the same degree of essential inspiration in the way it does the talking, then we would have to insist that every Christian learn Hebrew and Greek. The mere fact that we in the Western world read translations of the scriptures is a clear admission that times and cultures have changed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a lot of confusion in the marketplace.

Let us say that man is the kind of creature who naturally sees the world from a very limited perspective, that he tends to be self-centered and to prefer the interests that are closest to himself and to his own social group. Let us say that man is naturally unwilling to accept his limited or finite status, that he is always seeking to extend his control over others, that he seeks to maintain his own security by means of power over all who may threaten it, that he likes to be in a position to compare himself with others to their disadvantage, that he seeks to be self-sufficient and to deny in effect his dependence upon God and to set up his own group or system or ideal in the place of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is small or great in God's sight; whatever He wills becomes great to us, however trifling, and if once ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is small or great in God's sight; whatever He wills becomes great to us, however trifling, and if once the voice of conscience tells us that He requires anything of us, we have no right to measure its importance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the great department store of life, baseball is the toy department. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3770]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the great department store of life, baseball is the toy department.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not know of any environmental group in any country that does not view its government as an adversary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13996]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not know of any environmental group in any country that does not view its government as an adversary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us begin by doing our best to do our best, every single time, no matter what, forever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34307]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us begin by doing our best to do our best, every single time, no matter what, forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never express yourself more clearly than you think. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never express yourself more clearly than you think.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has outstanding athletic ability and great hands.
