But if the other members also have sinned, why should they not fast, too... Let the eye fast from strange sights and from every wantonness, so that that which roamed in freedom in fault-doing may, abundantly humbled, be checked by penitence. Let the ear, blameably eager to listen, fast from tales and rumors, and from whatsoever is of idle import, and tendeth least to salvation. Let the tongue fast from slanders and murmurings, and from useless, vain, and scurrilous words, and sometimes also, in the seriousness of silence, even from things which may seem of essential import. Let the hand abstain from ... all toils which are not imperatively necessary. But also let the soul herself abstain from all evils and from acting out her own will. For without such abstinence the other things find no favor with the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Long stood the noble youth oppress'd with awe, And stupid at the wondrous things he saw,  Surpassing common faith, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Long stood the noble youth oppress'd with awe, And stupid at the wondrous things he saw,  Surpassing common faith, transgressing nature's law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keeping your clothes well pressed will keep you from looking hard pressed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12970]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keeping your clothes well pressed will keep you from looking hard pressed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The face, not the woman is the attraction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50495]]></link><description><![CDATA[The face, not the woman is the attraction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is very dangerous to have your self-worth riding on your results as an athlete. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2260]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is very dangerous to have your self-worth riding on your results as an athlete.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The spider's touch, how exquisitely fine! Feels at each thread, and lives along the line. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57374]]></link><description><![CDATA[The spider's touch, how exquisitely fine! Feels at each thread, and lives along the line.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a brave fellow!

We must realize that God is against us when we are sinning; yet we dare trust that His gracious love reaches to us across the chasm which separates us from Him. When we understand His loving attitude and accept His Grace, He releases His love in us. By that love we are able to begin to keep His commands for us -- to love Him with heart, mind, soul and strength, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's all about creating buzz, ...
