Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it hurts to look back,m and you're too scared to look ahead, just look beside you and your best ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16833]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it hurts to look back,m and you're too scared to look ahead, just look beside you and your best friend will be there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are haunters of the silence, ghosts that hold the heart and brain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56279]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are haunters of the silence, ghosts that hold the heart and brain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, that I were where I would be, Then would I be where I am not;  For where I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61789]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, that I were where I would be, Then would I be where I am not;  For where I am I would not be,   And where I would be I can not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For rarely man escapes his destiny. [It., Che l'uomo il suo destin fugge di raro.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12060]]></link><description><![CDATA[For rarely man escapes his destiny. [It., Che l'uomo il suo destin fugge di raro.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His heroism, patriotism and service to the country are something we all need to see as a role model. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29145]]></link><description><![CDATA[His heroism, patriotism and service to the country are something we all need to see as a role model.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[States are great engines moving slowly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17976]]></link><description><![CDATA[States are great engines moving slowly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou wear a lion's hide! doff it for shame, And hang a calf's-skin on those recreant limbs. -King John.
