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[10 million people marched against the war on 5 continentsin the most united opposition to war ever seen in history.Not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45971]]></link><description><![CDATA[10 million people marched against the war on 5 continentsin the most united opposition to war ever seen in history.Not in a single European country was opposition to the war less than 89%.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Am I always to be a mere listener?

Ideology may well be defined as religion-substitute. The fact that religious faith expresses itself in the particular ideological forms current in any given period is no reason why we should confuse religion with ideology; and, even though it requires a penetrating and candid investigation to distinguish between the genuinely religious and the merely ideological elements in the outlook of a particular period or individual, this does not mean that religion itself is an aspect of ideology. The core of religious belief is not ideological, whatever may be said of the soft pulp in which it is wrapped up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[it couldn't have happened to a nicer person and it's a most fitting award. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28723]]></link><description><![CDATA[it couldn't have happened to a nicer person and it's a most fitting award.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love being married.
