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[Where it concerns himself, Who's angry at a slander, makes it true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where it concerns himself, Who's angry at a slander, makes it true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Calamity is man's true touchstone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Calamity is man's true touchstone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[people who are willing to kill animals just to satisfy their greed for meat are ultimately, really, killing themselves by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2650]]></link><description><![CDATA[people who are willing to kill animals just to satisfy their greed for meat are ultimately, really, killing themselves by their cruelty . . . that is God at workhttp://www.egroups.com/messages/christianveg.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The falling out of faithful friends, renewing is of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52698]]></link><description><![CDATA[The falling out of faithful friends, renewing is of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Andres took a nice firm shot at the far post because their goalkeeper left it wide open, and he put ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34397]]></link><description><![CDATA[Andres took a nice firm shot at the far post because their goalkeeper left it wide open, and he put it in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think being funny is not anyone's first choice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55120]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think being funny is not anyone's first choice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gilbert West and his friend, Lord Lyttleton, both men of acknowledged talents, had imbibed the principles of infidelity from a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6743]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gilbert West and his friend, Lord Lyttleton, both men of acknowledged talents, had imbibed the principles of infidelity from a superficial view of the Scriptures. Fully persuaded that the Bible was an imposture, they were determined to expose [it]. Mr. West chose the Resurrection of Christ, and Lord Lyttleton the conversion of St Paul, for the subject of hostile criticism. Both sat down to their respective tasks full of prejudice and a contempt for Christianity. The results of their separate endeavours was that they were both converted by their attempts to overthrow the truth of Christianity! They came together, not as they had expected, to exult over an imposture exposed to ridicule, but to lament their folly and congratulate each other on their joint conviction, that the Bible was the word of God. Their able enquiries have furnished two most valuable treatises in favour of revelation -- one, entitled "Observations on the Conversion of St Paul", and the other, "Observations on the Resurrection of Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28301]]></link><description><![CDATA[Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's one of the main reasons I came back, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38772]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's one of the main reasons I came back,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To complain of lack of leadership is, in the field of political affairs, the characteristic attitude of all harbingers of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47204]]></link><description><![CDATA[To complain of lack of leadership is, in the field of political affairs, the characteristic attitude of all harbingers of dictatorship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge is the hill which few may wish to climb; Duty is the path that all may tread. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13067]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge is the hill which few may wish to climb; Duty is the path that all may tread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883  When the eyes of the soul looking out meet the eyes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883  When the eyes of the soul looking out meet the eyes of God looking in, heaven has begun right here on this earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6060]]></link><description><![CDATA[God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Having well polished the whole bow, he added a golden tip. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Having well polished the whole bow, he added a golden tip.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As to honor -- you know -- it's a very fine mediaeval inheritance which women never got hold of.
