We could not get on without her, and indeed, having paid lip-service to God's opinion, we must admit that we greatly prefer her, for Martha was doing a really feminine job, whereas Mary was just behaving like any other disciple; and that is a hard pill to swallow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19782]]></link><description><![CDATA[The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21136]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He said each day, he wants to work as hard as Dan did. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32435]]></link><description><![CDATA[He said each day, he wants to work as hard as Dan did.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66570]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first half was almost like a boxing match, trying to see what the other guy was going to do. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31281]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first half was almost like a boxing match, trying to see what the other guy was going to do.
