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["Man wants but little here below Nor wants that little long,"  'Tis not with me exactly so;   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61777]]></link><description><![CDATA["Man wants but little here below Nor wants that little long,"  'Tis not with me exactly so;   But 'tis so in the song.    My wants are many, and, if told,     Would muster many a score;      And were each wish a mint of gold,       I still should long for more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise musicians are those who play what they can master ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43543]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise musicians are those who play what they can master]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One's greatest challenge is to control oneself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46219]]></link><description><![CDATA[One's greatest challenge is to control oneself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truly now is the golden age; the highest honour comes by means of gold; by gold love is procured. [Lat., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truly now is the golden age; the highest honour comes by means of gold; by gold love is procured. [Lat., Aurea nunc vere sunt saecula; plurimus auto  Venit honos; auro concilatur amor.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great seal of truth is simplicity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2148]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great seal of truth is simplicity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wish they would only take me as I am. - Dear Theo: Autobiography of Vincent Van Gogh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46382]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish they would only take me as I am. - Dear Theo: Autobiography of Vincent Van Gogh.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which leads us to the performance of duty by offering pleasure as its reward, is not virtue, but a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60769]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which leads us to the performance of duty by offering pleasure as its reward, is not virtue, but a deceptive copy and imitation of virtue. [Lat., Nam quae voluptate, quasi mercede aliqua, ad officium impellitur, ea non est virtus sed fallax imitatio simulatioque virtutis.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I consider him of no account who esteems himself just as the popular breath may chance to raise him. [Ger., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53882]]></link><description><![CDATA[I consider him of no account who esteems himself just as the popular breath may chance to raise him. [Ger., Ich halte nichts von dem, der von sich denkt  Wie ihn das Volk vielleicht erheben mochte.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And every dew-drop paints a bow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12198]]></link><description><![CDATA[And every dew-drop paints a bow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I absolutely believe that an audit is warranted; 20 years is too long, ...

Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest thing here is what inventories are looking like and what demand is looking like for the first quarter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32032]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest thing here is what inventories are looking like and what demand is looking like for the first quarter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm banking on the playoffs now. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41156]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm banking on the playoffs now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wept when I was borne, and every day shewes why. [I wept when I was born and every day ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49504]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wept when I was borne, and every day shewes why. [I wept when I was born and every day explains why.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bird of the broad and sweeping wing, Thy home is high in heaven,  Where wide the storms their banners ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bird of the broad and sweeping wing, Thy home is high in heaven,  Where wide the storms their banners fling,   And the tempest clouds are driven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Overall for lithography, we still need to shrink for these guys to get two microprocessors on a chip, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30212]]></link><description><![CDATA[Overall for lithography, we still need to shrink for these guys to get two microprocessors on a chip,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child's hand in yours - what tenderness it arouses, what power it conjures.

For even they are sure that to live for nothing higher than oneself is to lose life; that life, to be called life, can be found only in serving something bigger than one's personal interests; something that crowds these out of mind and heart, till one forgets about them and lives wholly, and without exception, for that other, worthier thing... It is long since Aristotle told us that only barbarians have as their ideal the wish to live as they please, and to do what they like. And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was a pilot flying an airplane and it just so happened that where I was flying made what I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1977]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was a pilot flying an airplane and it just so happened that where I was flying made what I was doing spying.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, you think it's only a minute.
