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[With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64314]]></link><description><![CDATA[With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He appeared to have died on the night of June 11 after he was hog-tied and separated from the rest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34272]]></link><description><![CDATA[He appeared to have died on the night of June 11 after he was hog-tied and separated from the rest of the hostages.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There never was such beauty in another man. Nature made him, and then broke the mould.  [Fr., Non e ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26245]]></link><description><![CDATA[There never was such beauty in another man. Nature made him, and then broke the mould.  [Fr., Non e un si bello in tante altre persone,   Natura il fece, e poi roppa la stampa.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fastest way to succeed is to look as if you're playing by somebody else's rules, while quietly playing by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46271]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fastest way to succeed is to look as if you're playing by somebody else's rules, while quietly playing by your own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We let ourselves down in the opening 20 minutes.
