The best way to get great ideas is to get lots of ideas and throw the bad ones away. 2. Create ideas that are 15 minutes ahead of their time...not light years ahead. 3. Always look for a second right answer. 4. If at first you don't succeed, take a break. 5. Write down your ideas before you forget them. 6. If everyone says you are wrong, you're one step ahead. If everyone laughs at you, you're two steps ahead. 7. The answer to your problem "pre-exists." You need to ask the right question to reveal the answer. 8. When you ask a dumb question, you get a smart answer. 9. Never solve a problem from its original perspective. 10. Visualize your problem as solved before solving it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make me to see't; or at the least so prove it That the probation bear no hinge nor loop  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12764]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make me to see't; or at the least so prove it That the probation bear no hinge nor loop  To hang a doubt on--or woe upon thy life!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62054]]></link><description><![CDATA[We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When all is said and done, what you'll probably see is some sort of negotiated settlement here, whether it's a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35054]]></link><description><![CDATA[When all is said and done, what you'll probably see is some sort of negotiated settlement here, whether it's a breakup fee, or lower purchase price.

Therefore this great work of charity must have other motives, ends, and impulsions. I give no alms to satisfy the hunger of my brother, but to fulfil and accomplish the will and command of my God; I draw not my purse for his sake that demands it, but his that enjoined it; I relieve no man upon the rhetoric of his miseries, nor to content mine own commiserating disposition, for this is still but moral charity, and an act that oweth more to passion than reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humor distorts nothing, and only false gods are laughed off their earthly pedestals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humor distorts nothing, and only false gods are laughed off their earthly pedestals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreaming permits each and everyone of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12920]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreaming permits each and everyone of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a whole part of "psychological education" it needs to be remembered that a neurosis can be valuable; also that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36988]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a whole part of "psychological education" it needs to be remembered that a neurosis can be valuable; also that "adjustment" to a sick and insane environment is of itself not "health" but sickness and insanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Assumptions based on faith are apparently an ever-present component in any system of belief -- whether these assumptions include the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7179]]></link><description><![CDATA[Assumptions based on faith are apparently an ever-present component in any system of belief -- whether these assumptions include the existence of a personal God, or whether they begin with non-rational directionally-emergent forces governed by statistical probabilities. Our argument does not claim that evidences are so clear that faith is not needed. We do intend to imply, however, that the choice of a set of assumptions is a moral choice. Adherence to an epistemology is not something which merely "happens to" a person, but instead it reflects a component of his moral development. In some sense he is, in my judgment, morally responsible for adopting an epistemology even though it can be neither proved nor disproved to the satisfaction of those who oppose it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We weep when we are born, Not when we die! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58780]]></link><description><![CDATA[We weep when we are born, Not when we die!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58780</guid></item></channel></rss>
