For it is to this end that he brings his own body into subjection, that he may be able to serve others more sincerely and more freely... Thus it is impossible that he should take his ease in this life, and not work for the good of his neighbors, since he must needs speak, act, and converse among men, just as Christ... had His conversation among men... It is the part of a Christian to take care of his own body for the very purpose that by its soundness and wellbeing he may be enabled to labor... for the aid of those who are in want, that thus the stronger member may serve the weaker member, and we may be children of God, and busy for one another, bearing one another's burdens, and so fulfilling the law of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miser is ever in want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50349]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miser is ever in want.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, leave the gay and festive scenes, The halls of dazzling light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15596]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, leave the gay and festive scenes, The halls of dazzling light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes two to make a quarrel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50999]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes two to make a quarrel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is always good When a man has two irons in the fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51954]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is always good When a man has two irons in the fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not going to say no to playing a show in Missoula. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37650]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not going to say no to playing a show in Missoula.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can speak well if your tongue can deliver the message of your heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52479]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can speak well if your tongue can deliver the message of your heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity knocks for every man, but you have to give a woman a ring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity knocks for every man, but you have to give a woman a ring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The American experiment is the most tremendous and far reaching engine of social change which has ever either blessed or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31359]]></link><description><![CDATA[The American experiment is the most tremendous and far reaching engine of social change which has ever either blessed or cursed mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a god, such as men might be, if men were gods. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42316]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was a god, such as men might be, if men were gods.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who would live must fight, he who will not fight in this world where eternal struggle is the law ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15658]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who would live must fight, he who will not fight in this world where eternal struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take up the cross if thou the crown would'st gain. [Lat., Tolle crucem, qui vis auferre coronam.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take up the cross if thou the crown would'st gain. [Lat., Tolle crucem, qui vis auferre coronam.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of members resigned from the club, and we were concerned the club wouldn't keep going.
