But how to give Him a present to express our love is a bit of a problem. How can you give God anything when He owns everything? But does He? How about that power to choose, that precious free will that He has given to every living personality and which He so greatly respects? That is the only present we can give -- our selves, with all our powers of spirit, mind, and body, willingly, freely given because we love Him. That is the best and highest worship that you and I can offer, and I am sure that it is this above all that God most highly appreciates.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, child of suffering, thou may'st well be sure He who ordained the Sabbath loves the poor! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47890]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes, child of suffering, thou may'st well be sure He who ordained the Sabbath loves the poor!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's to old Adam's crystal ale, Clear sparkling and divine,  Fair H2O, long may you flow,   We ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's to old Adam's crystal ale, Clear sparkling and divine,  Fair H2O, long may you flow,   We think your health (in wine).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are not to do evil that good may come of it. [Lat., Non faciat malum, ut inde veniat bonum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10666]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are not to do evil that good may come of it. [Lat., Non faciat malum, ut inde veniat bonum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A flatterer has water in one hand and fire in the other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61323]]></link><description><![CDATA[A flatterer has water in one hand and fire in the other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When thou cam'st first, Thou strok'st me and made much of me; wouldst give me  Water with berries in't; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3404]]></link><description><![CDATA[When thou cam'st first, Thou strok'st me and made much of me; wouldst give me  Water with berries in't; and teach me how   To name the bigger light, and how the less,    That burn by day and night; and then I loved thee     And showed thee all the qualities o' th' isle,      The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despair of all recovery spoils longevity, And makes men's miseries of alarming brevity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48730]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despair of all recovery spoils longevity, And makes men's miseries of alarming brevity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65676]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now it is established in the sciences that no knowledge is acquired save through the study of its causes and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29753]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now it is established in the sciences that no knowledge is acquired save through the study of its causes and beginnings, if it has had causes and beginnings; nor completed except by knowledge of its accidents and accompanying essentials.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Lord, let thyself be found with a good gift to everyone who needs it, that the happy may find ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6691]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Lord, let thyself be found with a good gift to everyone who needs it, that the happy may find courage to accept thy good gifts, that the sorrowful may find courage to accept thy perfect gifts. For to men there is a difference of joy and of sorrow, but for thee, O Lord, there is no difference in these things; everything that comes from thee is a good and perfect gift.   ... Søren Kierkegaard August 16, 2000   By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, the Saviour, we renounce all mysticism. For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most men hate to shop.
