Now I ask for God. Supposing there is a tree full of fruits -- you will have to go and buy or beg the fruits from the owner of the tree. Every day you would have to go for one or two fruits. But if you can make the tree your own property, then all the fruits will be your own. In the same way, if God is your own, then all things in Heaven and on earth will be your own, because He is your Father and is everything to you; otherwise you will have to go and ask like a beggar for certain things. When they are used up, you will have to ask again. So ask not for gifts but for the Giver of Gifts: not for life but for the Giver of Life -- then life and the things needed for life will be added unto you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miserable have no other medicine but hope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42749]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miserable have no other medicine but hope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diligence is a great teacher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12293]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diligence is a great teacher.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841  The Gospel used to be presented as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7501]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841  The Gospel used to be presented as an appeal to believe in the Saviour who "did it all for me long ago", and then retired to a remote heaven where He receives the homage of believers till He comes again to inaugurate the Millennium. The mind of our generation, having little comprehension or taste for such a message, is usually content to try to discover "the Jesus of history", conceived as a human example and teacher of a distant past. Meanwhile, there exists always alongside all forms of religious belief the great tradition of mystical experience. The mystic knows that, whatever be the truth about an historic act or person, there is a Spirit dwelling in man. In our time, even natural science abates its arrogant denials and admits the possibility of such immanence... The weak point of mysticism, as seen at least by a matter-of-fact person, is that it is apt to be so nebulous ethically. What the Immanent is, those who claim most traffic with It can often least tell us. Is It a power making for righteousness, or is It a higher synthesis of good and evil? Or is It not a moral -- that is to say, not a personal Being at all?... The raising of these questions is not intended to throw any doubt upon the validity of mystical experience as such; but we have a right to ask what content is given in the experience. Paul was a mystic, but all his mystical experience had a personal object. It was Jesus Christ, a real, living person --historic, yet not of the past alone; divine, yet not alien from humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The risk of sudden cardiac death during an episode of moderate to vigorous exertion in this large group of women ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31789]]></link><description><![CDATA[The risk of sudden cardiac death during an episode of moderate to vigorous exertion in this large group of women was exceedingly low, even lower than we had found previously in a large group of men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rebellion must be managed with many swords; treason to his prince's person may be with one knife. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59644]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rebellion must be managed with many swords; treason to his prince's person may be with one knife.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our fears vanish as the danger approaches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51176]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our fears vanish as the danger approaches.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56670]]></link><description><![CDATA[A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell me, shepherds, have you seen My Flora pass this way?  In shape and feature Beauty's queen,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3830]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell me, shepherds, have you seen My Flora pass this way?  In shape and feature Beauty's queen,   In pastoral array.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And from his ashes may be made The violet of his native land. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51732]]></link><description><![CDATA[And from his ashes may be made The violet of his native land.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parsifal - the kind of opera that starts at six o'clock and after it has been going three hours, you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44917]]></link><description><![CDATA[Parsifal - the kind of opera that starts at six o'clock and after it has been going three hours, you look at your watch and it says 6:20]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is a creation of desire, not a creation of need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11976]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is a creation of desire, not a creation of need.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind.
