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://maxioms.com/maxiom/7310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65223]]></link><description><![CDATA[The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sword is never a killer, it is a tool in the killer's hands ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61466]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sword is never a killer, it is a tool in the killer's hands]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In addressing the matter of a speculative housing bubble, the more important question to answer is: are these robust economic ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32209]]></link><description><![CDATA[In addressing the matter of a speculative housing bubble, the more important question to answer is: are these robust economic fundamentals in Vancouver strong enough to support such price gains?
