Although I must have Martha's hands, I have a Mary mind, And when I black the boots and shoes, Thy sandals, Lord, I find. I think of how they trod the earth, what time I scrub the floor: Accept this meditation, Lord, I haven't time for more. Warm all the kitchen with Thy love, and light it with Thy peace; Forgive me all my worrying, and make my grumbling cease. Thou who didst love to give men food, in room or by the sea, Accept this service that I do -- I do it unto Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the soundest rules to remember when making forecasts in the field of economics is that whatever is to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15684]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the soundest rules to remember when making forecasts in the field of economics is that whatever is to happen is happening already.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Legends are material to be moulded, and not facts to be recorded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Legends are material to be moulded, and not facts to be recorded.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just because your doctor has a name for your condition doesn't mean he knows what it is ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just because your doctor has a name for your condition doesn't mean he knows what it is]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spring comes with flowers, autumn with the moon, summer with the breeze, winter with snow.

He may hand down everything else, so long as it is material and not pertaining to his person, for it may be acquired and disposed of as property and may over a series of generations create considerable inequalities in wealth among the mem­bers of the commonwealt. But he may not prevent his sub­ordinates from raising themselves to his own level if they are able and entitled to do so by their talent, industry and good fortune. If this were not so, he would be allowed to practise coercion without himself being subject to coercive counter-measures from others, and would thus be more than their fellow-subject.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In many ways this is turned into a developing country, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41511]]></link><description><![CDATA[In many ways this is turned into a developing country,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not surpassing in crafty measures, but in the power of arms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51817]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not surpassing in crafty measures, but in the power of arms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47373]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God never had a church but there, men say, The devil a chapel hath raised by some wiles,  I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8674]]></link><description><![CDATA[God never had a church but there, men say, The devil a chapel hath raised by some wiles,  I doubted of this saw, till on a day   I westward spied great Edinburgh's Saint Giles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics is the art of the possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47631]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics is the art of the possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How you spend your time is more important than how you spend your money.
