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.

But God does not require us to carry the whole at once. He mercifully unties the bundle, and gives us first one stick, which we are to carry today, and then another, which we are to carry tomorrow, and so on. This we might easily manage, if we would only take the burden appointed for each day; but we choose to increase our troubles by carrying yesterday's stick over again today, and adding tomorrow's burden to the load, before we are required to bear it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The history of every individual man should be a Bible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54916]]></link><description><![CDATA[The history of every individual man should be a Bible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't win the section this year, and, after that, we set this as our goal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37568]]></link><description><![CDATA[We didn't win the section this year, and, after that, we set this as our goal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The meaning of life is to find your gift, the purpose of life is to give it away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55057]]></link><description><![CDATA[The meaning of life is to find your gift, the purpose of life is to give it away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Benefits are acceptable, while the receiver thinks he may return them; but once exceeding that, hatred is given instead of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Benefits are acceptable, while the receiver thinks he may return them; but once exceeding that, hatred is given instead of thanks. [Lat., Beneficia usque eo laeta sunt dum videntur exsolvi posse; ubi multum antevenere pro gratia odium redditur.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teach me to live that I may dread The grace as little as my bed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teach me to live that I may dread The grace as little as my bed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's just tough.
