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[When force is necessary, it must be applied boldly, decisively and completely.

For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace it's power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join to souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In most countries, if you have drugs in your possession, in your suitcase or on you, the fact that you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33676]]></link><description><![CDATA[In most countries, if you have drugs in your possession, in your suitcase or on you, the fact that you don't know about it or you were set up or you're carrying someone else's bag -- that is no excuse whatsoever and you're gonna be sentenced to the full extent of the law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am really close to my family.
