Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, nor 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/7462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're better than Belgium ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41157]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're better than Belgium]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It all changed when I realized I'm not the only one on the planet who's scared.

Everyone else is, too. I started asking people, "Are you scared, too?" "You bet your sweet life I am." "Aha, so that's the way it is for you, too." We were all in the same boat. That's probably what is so effective at our workshops. When I ask, "Who else feels like this?" the whole room of hands goes up. People realize they are not the only one who feels that way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have noticed that what cats most appreciate in a human being is not the ability to produce food, which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26317]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have noticed that what cats most appreciate in a human being is not the ability to produce food, which they take for granted - but his or her entertainment value]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry -- a God, invisible but omnipotent.

To have ideas, apercus, is not enough, and it is the overevalutation of such clever but uncontrolled guesses which is apt to produce the ludicrous fallacy of combination, in which fragments of the final theory are collected from widely scattered sources and are combined in such a way as to impugn the originality of him who was the first to see how such a synthesis was possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866  God's own work must be done by God's own ways.

If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You clearly have to keep watching this inflation issue.
