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[Feast of the Beheading of John the Baptist  Do not be too quick to condemn the man who no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7424]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Beheading of John the Baptist  Do not be too quick to condemn the man who no longer believes in God: for it is perhaps your own coldness and avarice and mediocrity and materialism and selfishness that have chilled his faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All history is a Bible--a thing stated in words by me more than once. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19317]]></link><description><![CDATA[All history is a Bible--a thing stated in words by me more than once.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.
