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[Because the governor hasn't seen a funding ordinance, there's no way for her to weigh in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36573]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because the governor hasn't seen a funding ordinance, there's no way for her to weigh in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who seeks for gain, must be at some expense. [Lat., Necesse est facere sumptum, qui quaerit lucrum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17139]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who seeks for gain, must be at some expense. [Lat., Necesse est facere sumptum, qui quaerit lucrum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many people profess Christianity.

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.
