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[Let our friends perish, provided that our enemies fall at the same time. [Lat., Pereant amici, dum una inimici intercidant.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13848]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let our friends perish, provided that our enemies fall at the same time. [Lat., Pereant amici, dum una inimici intercidant.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think this is the biggest disservice to middle-aged men.
