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[Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But no one frees himself from being in love in three days. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36767]]></link><description><![CDATA[But no one frees himself from being in love in three days.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The really frightening thing about middle age is the knowledge that you'll grow out of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1849]]></link><description><![CDATA[The really frightening thing about middle age is the knowledge that you'll grow out of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every ill man hath his ill day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49215]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every ill man hath his ill day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambiguity in directors is a hard thing to deal with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambiguity in directors is a hard thing to deal with.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writers seldom choose as friends those self-contained characters who are never in trouble, never unhappy or ill, never make mistakes, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4703]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writers seldom choose as friends those self-contained characters who are never in trouble, never unhappy or ill, never make mistakes, and always count their change when it is handed to them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's true, it's our responsibility because we are the only ones here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33549]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's true, it's our responsibility because we are the only ones here.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Destiny is no matter of chance.

St. Polycarp, Letter to the Philippians February 24, 2000  In church government... our primary concern is to reflect the nature of God. Christ became man in order that He might redeem men from their fallen state, from their selfishness and self-isolating divisions from God and from each other; so that, gathered together in one in Him, man may offer to God that likeness to Himself in love for which he was created. Church government is primarily concerned with this: with worship, with the drawing of the whole life of the whole world into this reflection of the nature of God. It is secondly -- and only secondly -- concerned with the quarrels and peccadilloes of those who are not, as a matter of fact, imitating God's nature very faithfully.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to roll the dice with their money or reputation on the line in support of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to roll the dice with their money or reputation on the line in support of an idea or enterprise.
