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[It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadayssaying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17895]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadayssaying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an extremely small percentage, although the impact - when a teacher engages in this - on the student, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30502]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's an extremely small percentage, although the impact - when a teacher engages in this - on the student, the parents and the community is widespread.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have rededicated myself to my procession as a way of honoring him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38550]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have rededicated myself to my procession as a way of honoring him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chapter of accidents is the longest chapter in the book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/303]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chapter of accidents is the longest chapter in the book.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money is only a tool.
