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[He kept no Christmas-house for once a yeere, Each day his boards were fild with Lordly fare;  He fed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19858]]></link><description><![CDATA[He kept no Christmas-house for once a yeere, Each day his boards were fild with Lordly fare;  He fed a rout of yeoman with his cheer,   Nor was his bread and beefe kept in with care;    His wine and beere to strangers were not spare,     And yet beside to all that hunger greved,      His gates were open, and they were there relived.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After graduation I plan on substituting in Jackson Township schools as an elementary school teacher.

Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever we condemn, we cloak the world in pain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22691]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever we condemn, we cloak the world in pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider an enemy may become a friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consider an enemy may become a friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51891]]></link><description><![CDATA[But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them: Then I will cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:  And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and to this house?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was not really as good as I should have been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34234]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was not really as good as I should have been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To vanish nonsense with the charms of sound. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44609]]></link><description><![CDATA[To vanish nonsense with the charms of sound.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Affliction is a school of virtue; it corrects levity, and interrupts the confidence of sinning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34995]]></link><description><![CDATA[Affliction is a school of virtue; it corrects levity, and interrupts the confidence of sinning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we play like we did today we'll do good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42307]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we play like we did today we'll do good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You live with your thoughts -- so be careful what they are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/932]]></link><description><![CDATA[You live with your thoughts -- so be careful what they are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It shouldn't take more than 18 months to sell off the condos.

The reason is simple. Those attitudes and practices to which we give the collective name of religion are themselves concerned with religion hardly at all. To be religious is to have one's attention fixed on God and on one's neighbour in relation to God. Therefore, almost by definition, a religious man, or a man when he is being religious, is not thinking about religion; he hasn't the time. Religion is what we (or he himself at a later moment) call his activity from outside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One's personality can be understood from the people they mingle with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46222]]></link><description><![CDATA[One's personality can be understood from the people they mingle with.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truth that survives is simply the lie that is pleasantest to believe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26143]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truth that survives is simply the lie that is pleasantest to believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012  Faith knows nothing of external guarantees -- that is, of course, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012  Faith knows nothing of external guarantees -- that is, of course, faith as an original experience of the life of the Spirit. It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had to play in it; they had to play in it.
