We must try to show them that that impossibility is an essential part of the doctrine. If you do not believe our Lord's words, why do you believe in His return at all? And if you do believe them, must you not put away from you, utterly and forever, any hope of dating that return?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A real person has two reasons for doing anything . . . a good reason and the real reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24340]]></link><description><![CDATA[A real person has two reasons for doing anything . . . a good reason and the real reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Innovators and creators are persons who can to a higher degree than average accept the condition of aloneness.

They are more willing to follow their own vision, even when it takes them far from the mainland of the human community. Unexplored places do not frighten them- or not, at any rate, as much as they frighten those around them. This is one of the secrets of their power. That which we call "genius" has a great deal to do with courage and daring, a great deal to do with nerve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All Michelle wanted was to see for herself if she could do it or not.
