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[We English are good at forgiving our enemies; it releases us from the obligation of liking our friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44754]]></link><description><![CDATA[We English are good at forgiving our enemies; it releases us from the obligation of liking our friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All Heaven and Earth are still, though not in sleep, But breathless, as we grow when feeling most. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56273]]></link><description><![CDATA[All Heaven and Earth are still, though not in sleep, But breathless, as we grow when feeling most.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They had their lean books with the fat of others' works. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46632]]></link><description><![CDATA[They had their lean books with the fat of others' works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Patrick, Bishop of Armagh, Missionary, Patron of Ireland, c.460  Thanksgiving is the language of heaven, and we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Patrick, Bishop of Armagh, Missionary, Patron of Ireland, c.460  Thanksgiving is the language of heaven, and we had better start to learn it if we are not to be mere dumb aliens there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Damage similar to that caused by Ivan will push oil prices above $75.
