Mary's, of course, was the better part -- the Lord said so, and we must not precisely contradict Him. But we will be careful not to despise Martha. No doubt, He approved of her, too. 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[If people should ever start to do only what is necessary millions would die of hunger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44072]]></link><description><![CDATA[If people should ever start to do only what is necessary millions would die of hunger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How do the wordsof the Peaceful Masterbecome the tiradesof warmonger pastors? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8229]]></link><description><![CDATA[How do the wordsof the Peaceful Masterbecome the tiradesof warmonger pastors?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea -- massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9406]]></link><description><![CDATA[Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea -- massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's ok for a man to commit adultery if his wife is ugly ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/646]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's ok for a man to commit adultery if his wife is ugly]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soft pity enters an iron gate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soft pity enters an iron gate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are so many little dyings that it doesn't matter which of them is death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11188]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are so many little dyings that it doesn't matter which of them is death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But men and women, getting along, it's a joke.
