This means that the doctor on his rounds, the scientist in his laboratory, the teacher in his classroom, the musician at his music, the artist at his canvas, the shop assistant at his counter, the typist at her typewriter, the housewife in her kitchen -- all who are doing the work of the world as it should be done are joining in a great act of worship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man should choose a friend who is better than himself.
