Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and "progress," everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man's refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent. As Oscar Wilde truly said, "Disobedience was man's Original Virtue."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody, sooner or later, sits down to a banquet of consequences. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody, sooner or later, sits down to a banquet of consequences.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Paranoids are people, too; they have their own problems.

He hath carried us up to heaven & set us at the right hand of God, & shall not we endeavour to carry him to those nations, who have not yet heard of his name? Shall we still brag that we have brought our clothes, and our hatchets, and our knives, and bread to this and this value and estimation amongst those poor ignorant Souls, and shall we never glory that we have brought the name, and Religion of Christ Jesus in estimation amongst them? Shall we stay till other nations have planted a false Christ among them? And then either continue in our sloth, or take more pains in rooting out a false Christ than would have planted the true?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What they are doing is priceless, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39706]]></link><description><![CDATA[What they are doing is priceless,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The look of the movie has a kind a muted tone to it at first, and then we introduce color ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33330]]></link><description><![CDATA[The look of the movie has a kind a muted tone to it at first, and then we introduce color to it as we go along.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How much lies in Laughter: the cipher-key, wherewith we decipher the whole man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24165]]></link><description><![CDATA[How much lies in Laughter: the cipher-key, wherewith we decipher the whole man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination.
