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[He who the sword of heaven will bear Should be as holy as severe;  Pattern in himself to know, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23517]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who the sword of heaven will bear Should be as holy as severe;  Pattern in himself to know,   Grace to stand, and virtue go;    More nor less to others paying     Than by self-offenses weighing.      Shame to him whose cruel striking       Kills for faults of his own liking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If people would know how little brain is ruling the world, they would die of fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36799]]></link><description><![CDATA[If people would know how little brain is ruling the world, they would die of fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not in the roll of common men. -King Henry IV.
