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/7462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Controversy is only dreaded by the advocates of error ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10067]]></link><description><![CDATA[Controversy is only dreaded by the advocates of error]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The charisma, the celebrity, around John Paul was so strong that, in a way, the religious significance of the event ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38501]]></link><description><![CDATA[The charisma, the celebrity, around John Paul was so strong that, in a way, the religious significance of the event sort of fades from view.
