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://maxioms.com/maxiom/7084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've gotten to know them on a personal level, and I don't have to teach as much.

Your faith is something everyone knows, for everyone knows that Christ was [crucified], and that everywhere men pray to Him. The whole world knows that His glory has not been spread by force and weapons, but by poor fishermen. 0 wise man, do you think the poor fishermen were not clever enough for this? Where they worked, there they made hearts better; where they could not work, there men remained bad; and therefore was the faith true and from God. The signs which the Lord had promised followed their teaching: in His name they drove out the devil; they spoke in new tongues; if they drank any deadly drink, they received therefrom no harm. Even if these wonders had not occurred, there would have been the wonder of wonders, that poor fishermen without any miracle could accomplish so great a work as the faith. It came from God, and so is Christ true, and Christ is thy God, who is in heaven and awaits thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He plays o' th' viol-de-gamboys, and speaks three or four languages word for word without book, and hath all the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25136]]></link><description><![CDATA[He plays o' th' viol-de-gamboys, and speaks three or four languages word for word without book, and hath all the good gifts of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indecision is the seedling of fear ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20707]]></link><description><![CDATA[Indecision is the seedling of fear]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heigh ho, heigh ho! / It's off to work we go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5284]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heigh ho, heigh ho! / It's off to work we go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To a historian libraries are food, shelter, and even muse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24780]]></link><description><![CDATA[To a historian libraries are food, shelter, and even muse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hatred is self-punishment.
