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[Man's greatness lies in his power of thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hold, there is the very remuneration I had of thy master, thou halfpenny purse of wit, thou pigeon-egg of discretion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46601]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hold, there is the very remuneration I had of thy master, thou halfpenny purse of wit, thou pigeon-egg of discretion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't play for safety--it's the most dangerous thing in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't play for safety--it's the most dangerous thing in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had always loved beautiful and artistic things, though before leaving America I had had a very little chance of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27998]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had always loved beautiful and artistic things, though before leaving America I had had a very little chance of seeing any.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here lies Charles Cuevas.
