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[Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/705]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are leaving port under sealed orders and in a troubled period.

This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is through cooperation, rather than conflict, that your greatest successes will be derived…. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53367]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is through cooperation, rather than conflict, that your greatest successes will be derived….]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is lost yet, nothing broken, and yet the cold blue word is spoken: say goodbye now to the Sun, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60214]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is lost yet, nothing broken, and yet the cold blue word is spoken: say goodbye now to the Sun, the days of love and leaves are done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was really tired of words like 'plus size,' 'round' and 'large.'
