Only when even the smallest link is securely interlocked is the chain unbreakable. A community which allows unemployed members to exist within it will perish because of them. It will be well, therefore, if every member receives a definite task to perform for the community, that he may know in hours of doubt that he, too, is not useless and unusable. Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of the fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were afraid, never having learned what I taught myself: Defeat the fear of death and welcome the death of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19476]]></link><description><![CDATA[They were afraid, never having learned what I taught myself: Defeat the fear of death and welcome the death of fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better to be despised for too anxious apprehensions than ruined by too confident a security. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48687]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better to be despised for too anxious apprehensions than ruined by too confident a security.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women play more mobile games than men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39410]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women play more mobile games than men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The things most people want to know about are usually none of their business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17907]]></link><description><![CDATA[The things most people want to know about are usually none of their business.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's a soup kitchen? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13035]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's a soup kitchen?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever God erects a house of prayer The devil always builds a chapel there;  And 'twill be found, upon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8673]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever God erects a house of prayer The devil always builds a chapel there;  And 'twill be found, upon examination,   The latter has the largest congregation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's villainous news abroad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44469]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's villainous news abroad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Envy plus rhetoric equals "social justice.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47252]]></link><description><![CDATA[Envy plus rhetoric equals "social justice.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Lyons skin is never cheape. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49052]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Lyons skin is never cheape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[WRATH, n.
