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[I love vast libraries; yet there is a doubt, If one be better with them or without,--  Unless he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24772]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love vast libraries; yet there is a doubt, If one be better with them or without,--  Unless he use them wisely, and, indeed,   Knows the high art of what and how to read.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your heart's desires be with you! -As You Like It.
