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://maxioms.com/maxiom/7443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The vice-presidency isn't worth a pitcher of warm piss. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48148]]></link><description><![CDATA[The vice-presidency isn't worth a pitcher of warm piss.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[90% of the people in the stock market, professionals and amateurs alike, simply haven't done enough homework. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15838]]></link><description><![CDATA[90% of the people in the stock market, professionals and amateurs alike, simply haven't done enough homework.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It feels uncomfortable.

A great many people sermonising in our churches today would be better off and of greater service if they absolved themselves from the bondage and disciplines of the pulpit and came down among their congregations, teaching informally on sounder educational principles. After all, the vital matter in the ministry of the Word is not that a clergyman delivers himself of a discourse but that the people to whom he ministers end up being taught something. The tragedy is that the professional clergy have been trained to sermonise and they seem overwhelmed with fears and a sense of insecurity when they contemplate other methods. A further problem, of course, is that most of our churches contain a significant number of people who become emotionally disturbed at any departure from what they have always done in the past. To them, the sermon is part of their Christianity -- even if it bores them stiff!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Far from being the product of a democratic revolution and of an opposition to English institutions, the constitution of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Far from being the product of a democratic revolution and of an opposition to English institutions, the constitution of the United States was the result of a powerful reaction against democracy, and in favor of the traditions of the mother country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's helped me a lot with my situational moves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28194]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's helped me a lot with my situational moves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only conquests which are permanent and leave no regrets are our conquests over ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9775]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only conquests which are permanent and leave no regrets are our conquests over ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who matter are most aware that everyone else does, too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20643]]></link><description><![CDATA[People who matter are most aware that everyone else does, too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's just to give us a chance to blow off steam at the end of the day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41757]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's just to give us a chance to blow off steam at the end of the day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not a flower But shows some touch, in freckle, streak or stain,  Of his unrivall'd pencil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not a flower But shows some touch, in freckle, streak or stain,  Of his unrivall'd pencil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I really decided to run because I believe that if elected I can make a change for the better in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35031]]></link><description><![CDATA[I really decided to run because I believe that if elected I can make a change for the better in Union City.

Be daily, therefore, on your knees, in a solemn deliberate performance of this devotion, praying for others in such forms, with such length, importunity, and earnestness, as you use for yourself; and you will find all little, ill-natured passions die away, your heart grow great and generous, delighting in the common happiness of others, as you used only to delight in your own... It was this holy intercession that raised Christians to such a state of mutual love, as far exceeded all that had been praised and admired in human friendship. And when the same spirit of intercession is again in the world, when Christianity has the same power over the hearts of people that it then had, this holy friendship will be again in fashion, and Christians will be again the wonder of the world, for that exceeding love which they bear to one another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who steals a bugle-horn, a ring, a steed, Or such like worthless thing, has some discretion;  'Tis petty larceny: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who steals a bugle-horn, a ring, a steed, Or such like worthless thing, has some discretion;  'Tis petty larceny: not such his deed   Who robs us of our fame, our best possession.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We won the MASCAC every year I played at Salem State.
