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[Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race.

How could pagans have developed words for Christian ideas which have never occurred to them? This identical situation existed when the Holy Spirit inspired the New Testament. At that time many pagan words, with pagan-thought background, were used in Christian contexts; by the contexts the present Christian meaning eventually built up, until it was possible to express all the Christian meaning in the pagan terms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As to posterity, I may ask (with somebody whom I have forgot) what has it ever done to oblige me? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47842]]></link><description><![CDATA[As to posterity, I may ask (with somebody whom I have forgot) what has it ever done to oblige me?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had great intensity the second half.

For it is to this end that he brings his own body into subjection, that he may be able to serve others more sincerely and more freely... Thus it is impossible that he should take his ease in this life, and not work for the good of his neighbors, since he must needs speak, act, and converse among men, just as Christ... had His conversation among men... It is the part of a Christian to take care of his own body for the very purpose that by its soundness and wellbeing he may be enabled to labor... for the aid of those who are in want, that thus the stronger member may serve the weaker member, and we may be children of God, and busy for one another, bearing one another's burdens, and so fulfilling the law of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All soils are not fertile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48826]]></link><description><![CDATA[All soils are not fertile.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm putting the island in a trust so that only blood relatives can live on it for the next 360 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33350]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm putting the island in a trust so that only blood relatives can live on it for the next 360 years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex is a natural function.
