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 slept and dreamt that life was joy.

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[Feast of Teresa of Avila, Mystic, Teacher, 1582   Our body has this defect that, the more it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7890]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Teresa of Avila, Mystic, Teacher, 1582   Our body has this defect that, the more it is provided care and comforts, the more needs and desires it finds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bliss itself is not worth having, If we're by compulsion blest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bliss itself is not worth having, If we're by compulsion blest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23476]]></link><description><![CDATA[We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the human mind was simple enough to understand, we'd be too simple to understand it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27646]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the human mind was simple enough to understand, we'd be too simple to understand it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Passion doesn't look beyond the moment of its existence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2034]]></link><description><![CDATA[Passion doesn't look beyond the moment of its existence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fundamentally, all writing is about the same thing; it's about dying, about the brief flicker of time we have here, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17029]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fundamentally, all writing is about the same thing; it's about dying, about the brief flicker of time we have here, and the frustration that it creates.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64804]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At one point there were four sophomores and a junior in there at a crucial point and they played three ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32028]]></link><description><![CDATA[At one point there were four sophomores and a junior in there at a crucial point and they played three minutes of good basketball.
