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[By-and-by has no end. [Lat., Modo, et modo, non habebent modum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59297]]></link><description><![CDATA[By-and-by has no end. [Lat., Modo, et modo, non habebent modum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In gambling the many must lose in order that the few may win ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17159]]></link><description><![CDATA[In gambling the many must lose in order that the few may win]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out of their saddles into the dirt--and thereby hangs a tale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57926]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out of their saddles into the dirt--and thereby hangs a tale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sacred burden is this life ye bear: Look on it, lift it, bear it solemnly, Stand up and walk ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4976]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sacred burden is this life ye bear: Look on it, lift it, bear it solemnly, Stand up and walk beneath it steadfastly.

But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These are my new shoes.
