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[All theory is against the freedom of the will, all experience for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61598]]></link><description><![CDATA[All theory is against the freedom of the will, all experience for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
