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[We believe May 26 would be a great opportunity for promoting Georgia as the cradle of wine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35653]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe May 26 would be a great opportunity for promoting Georgia as the cradle of wine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath.
