Probably all you'll think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him, it will be because you feel a bit envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He won't be thinking about himself at all. There I must stop. If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you're not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you play it safe in life, you've decided that you don't want to grow anymore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22575]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you play it safe in life, you've decided that you don't want to grow anymore.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to assume there will be more deals.

Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think not those faithful who praise all thy words and actions; but those who kindly reprove thy faults. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15009]]></link><description><![CDATA[Think not those faithful who praise all thy words and actions; but those who kindly reprove thy faults.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intellectual brilliance is no guarantee against being dead wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intellectual brilliance is no guarantee against being dead wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the communities of the faithful, men had to impress upon themselves and upon others what Jesus said and did, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6195]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the communities of the faithful, men had to impress upon themselves and upon others what Jesus said and did, for the more convinced they were that he was neither a Jewish pretender nor an unsubstantial deity like one of the deities of the cults, the more urgent it was for them to recall that his words were the rule of their life, and that his actions in history had created their position in the world; they had to think out their faith, to state it against outside criticism, and to teach it within their own circle, instead of being content with it as a mere emotion; they had also to refresh their courage by anticipating the future, which they believed was in the hands of their Lord. The common basis of their life was the conviction that they enjoyed a new relationship with God, for which they were indebted to Jesus. The technical term for this relationship was "covenant", and "covenant" became eventually in their vocabulary "testament". Hence the later name for these writings of the church, when gathered into a sacred collection, was "The New Testament" -- New because the older relationship of God to his people, which had obtained under Judaism, with its Old Testament was superseded by the faith and fellowship which Jesus Christ his Son had inaugurated. It was the consciousness of this that inspired the early Christians to live, and to write about the origin and applications of this new life. They wrote for their own age, without a thought of posterity, and they did not write in unison but in harmony.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have an excellent, long-standing relationship with Chile and look forward to working with the new president and her team. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33035]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have an excellent, long-standing relationship with Chile and look forward to working with the new president and her team.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing good or evil save in the will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61592]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing good or evil save in the will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the soundest rules to remember when making forecasts in the field of economics is that whatever is to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15684]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the soundest rules to remember when making forecasts in the field of economics is that whatever is to happen is happening already.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The NRSC has never heard of them and we're not affiliated with their fund-raising efforts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32422]]></link><description><![CDATA[The NRSC has never heard of them and we're not affiliated with their fund-raising efforts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The game [of poker] exemplifies the worst aspects of capitalism that have made our country so great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5242]]></link><description><![CDATA[The game [of poker] exemplifies the worst aspects of capitalism that have made our country so great.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The men that is now is only all palaver and what they can get out of you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64530]]></link><description><![CDATA[The men that is now is only all palaver and what they can get out of you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge is no burden. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge is no burden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone carries his own inch-rule of taste, and amuses himself by applying it, triumphantly, wherever he travels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58649]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone carries his own inch-rule of taste, and amuses himself by applying it, triumphantly, wherever he travels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And this I know; whether the one True Light Kindle to Love, or Wrath consume me quite,  One flash ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25057]]></link><description><![CDATA[And this I know; whether the one True Light Kindle to Love, or Wrath consume me quite,  One flash of it within the Tavern caught   Better than in the temple lost outright.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I saw Chungking for the first time more than 40 years ago - a city of hills and mists, of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19386]]></link><description><![CDATA[I saw Chungking for the first time more than 40 years ago - a city of hills and mists, of grays and lavenders, two rivers shaping it to a point and the cliff rising above me like a challenge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Figures won't lie, but liars will figure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27854]]></link><description><![CDATA[Figures won't lie, but liars will figure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you think education is expensive, try ignorance!
