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[The only real valuable thing is intuition. -Albert Einstein. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22999]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only real valuable thing is intuition. -Albert Einstein.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19328]]></link><description><![CDATA[History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humor is something that thrives between man's aspirations and his limitations.

For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world rewards the appearance of merit oftener than merit itself. [Fr., Le monde recompense plus souvent les apparences de ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27386]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world rewards the appearance of merit oftener than merit itself. [Fr., Le monde recompense plus souvent les apparences de merite que le merite meme.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Videogames are a little more work and they're a little more stilted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31023]]></link><description><![CDATA[Videogames are a little more work and they're a little more stilted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A living cell requires energy not only for all its functions, but also for the maintenance of its structure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63720]]></link><description><![CDATA[A living cell requires energy not only for all its functions, but also for the maintenance of its structure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our fervent hope is it brings some peace, comfort or satisfaction to the victims. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32460]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our fervent hope is it brings some peace, comfort or satisfaction to the victims.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you marry for money, you will surely earn it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15916]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you marry for money, you will surely earn it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The new year begins in a snow-storm of white vows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64515]]></link><description><![CDATA[The new year begins in a snow-storm of white vows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love to go to the schoolyard and watch the children jump and scream, but they don't know I'm using ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20075]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love to go to the schoolyard and watch the children jump and scream, but they don't know I'm using blanks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Over grown military establishments are under any form of government inauspicious to liberty, and are to be regarded as particularly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Over grown military establishments are under any form of government inauspicious to liberty, and are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have rededicated myself to my procession as a way of honoring him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38550]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have rededicated myself to my procession as a way of honoring him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether goest, griefe? where I am wont. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether goest, griefe? where I am wont.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the light at the end of the tunnel, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30808]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the light at the end of the tunnel,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are men who can write poetry, and there are men who can read balance sheets.
