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[said Adams.

Take the "obvious things" about Christ as listed by a contemporary minister:  He was a popular and controversial preacher; He gathered a group of followers; He spent most of his time with the disinherited; He taught with authority; He never married; He never (so far as we know) held a job; He did not participate in public affairs; He did not have income, property, or an address; He was in bitter and frequent conflict with the religious and political authorities; He seemed to expect that the world would be eminently, radically, and supernaturally transformed; He attacked the traditions and values of his own people; He practically forced the authorities to prosecute and execute him. There is nothing exclusively religious, much less Christian, in this description, which, with a few exceptions, might apply also to Socrates or to "Che" Guevara. I asked many socially oriented ministers why they were Christians at all. Some said through faith, and some said that Christianity gave them courage and the motivation to endure (but so do other beliefs). Some said they hardly knew and that, if another, more acceptable, ideology came along, they would embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ask you what provocation I have had? The strong antipathy of good to bad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ask you what provocation I have had? The strong antipathy of good to bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vengeance comes not slowly either upon you or any other wicked man, but steals silently and imperceptibly, placing its foot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vengeance comes not slowly either upon you or any other wicked man, but steals silently and imperceptibly, placing its foot on the bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't understand your limitations you won't achieve much in your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65268]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't understand your limitations you won't achieve much in your life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shout now!
