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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only difference between a rut and a grave is their dimensions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18231]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only difference between a rut and a grave is their dimensions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought is a process of exaggeration.

It is only when we see things in the light of God that we see what things are really important, and what things are not. These things seem vastly important, things like ambition, and prestige, and money and gain, lose all their value and importance when they are seen in the light of God. Pleasures and habits and social customs which seem permissible enough, are seen for the dangerous things they are when they are seen in the light of God. Things which seem evils, hardship, toil, discipline, unpopularity, even persecution, are seen in their glory when they are seen in the light of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought it was an earthquake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36375]]></link><description><![CDATA[I thought it was an earthquake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have met the enemy, and it is the eyes of other people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13824]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have met the enemy, and it is the eyes of other people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who hesitates is probably right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21438]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who hesitates is probably right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fool bolts a door with a boiled carrot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50957]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fool bolts a door with a boiled carrot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's going to be nice to get home but we still lost the game.

It only behooves us to labor that we may be vessels of gold or of silver. But to break in pieces the vessels of earth belongs to the Lord alone, to whom a rod of iron is also given. Nor let any one arrogate to himself what is exclusively the province of the Son of God, by pretending to fan the floor, clear away the chaff, and separate all the tares by the Judgment of man.
