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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People of substance may sin without being exposed for their stolen pleasure; but servants and the poorer sort of women ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44169]]></link><description><![CDATA[People of substance may sin without being exposed for their stolen pleasure; but servants and the poorer sort of women have seldom an opportunity of concealing a big belly, or at least the consequences of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know a fellow who's as broke as the Ten Commandments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22776]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know a fellow who's as broke as the Ten Commandments.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[to continue the struggle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28615]]></link><description><![CDATA[to continue the struggle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I made the wrong turn, especially on the second one.

Examples could be multiplied. This type of service is a great witness to the reality of Christian life and faith; but it presupposes a spirit of fellowship within the Church, a spirit which is all too rare. It means that there is mutual respect and trust between the minister and the members of his Church; and a spirit of fellowship which is outward-looking and which issues in service.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The low'ring element Scowls o'er the darken'd landscape. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8914]]></link><description><![CDATA[The low'ring element Scowls o'er the darken'd landscape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They just crashed down and I didn't know how to get help. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35415]]></link><description><![CDATA[They just crashed down and I didn't know how to get help.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To pity distress it but human; to relieve it is Godlike. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46473]]></link><description><![CDATA[To pity distress it but human; to relieve it is Godlike.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not the right thing to do.

This is what distinguishes it most vitally from democracy. In a despotism there is no organized opposition which can take over the power when the Administration in office has failed. All the eggs are in one basket. Everything is staked on one coterie of men. When the going is good, they move more quickly and efficiently than democracies, where the opposition has to be persuaded and conciliated. But when they lose, there are no reserves. There are no substitutes on the bench ready to go out on the field and carry the ball. That is why democracies with the habit of party government have outlived all other forms of government in the modern world. They have, as it were, at least two governments always at hand, and when one fails they have the other. They have diversified the risks of mortality, corruption, and stupidity which pervade all human affairs. They have remembered that the most beautifully impressive machine cannot run for very long unless there is available a complete supply of spare parts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As commodity prices go up, ultimately everyone will raise prices, including Tiffany.

For what a man had rather were true he more readily believes. Therefore he rejects difficult things from impatience of research; sober things, because they narrow hope; the deeper things of nature, from superstition; the light of experience, from arrogance and pride; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinion of the vulgar. Numberless in short are the ways, and sometimes imperceptible, in which the affections color and infect the understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beneath me flows the Rhine, and, like the stream of Time, it flows amid the ruins of the Past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54193]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beneath me flows the Rhine, and, like the stream of Time, it flows amid the ruins of the Past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9340]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be careless in your dress if you must, but keep a tidy soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12971]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be careless in your dress if you must, but keep a tidy soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A faire death honours the whole life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49015]]></link><description><![CDATA[A faire death honours the whole life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is far too important a thing ever to talk about. -Oscar Wilde. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9074]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is far too important a thing ever to talk about. -Oscar Wilde.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men of the noblest dispositions think themselves happiest when others share their happiness with them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17265]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men of the noblest dispositions think themselves happiest when others share their happiness with them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54579]]></link><description><![CDATA[From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once conform, once do what others do because they do it, and a kind of lethargy steals over all the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once conform, once do what others do because they do it, and a kind of lethargy steals over all the finer senses of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who wins may have been counted out several times but he didn'thear the referee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21933]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who wins may have been counted out several times but he didn'thear the referee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't ask, you don't get. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1352]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't ask, you don't get.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In most countries, major gaming companies are moving into position to participate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39805]]></link><description><![CDATA[In most countries, major gaming companies are moving into position to participate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39805</guid></item></channel></rss>
