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[Woman was God's second mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27244]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woman was God's second mistake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who give bad advice to the prudent, both lose their pains and are laughed to scorn. [Lat., Consilia qui ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who give bad advice to the prudent, both lose their pains and are laughed to scorn. [Lat., Consilia qui dant prava cautis hominibus,  Et perdunt operam et deridentur tupiter.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fire that's closest kept, burns most of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51532]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fire that's closest kept, burns most of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't make the Duchess of Windsor into Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.
