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://maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are several good protections against temptations, but the surest is cowardice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58914]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are several good protections against temptations, but the surest is cowardice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Practice is everything"This is often misquoted as "Practice makes perfect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/842]]></link><description><![CDATA[Practice is everything"This is often misquoted as "Practice makes perfect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle that fits the all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26126]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle that fits the all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure.

Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's no longer looking for a Soviet division; the threat is now about a person, ...
