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[The only thing that experience tells me is you can't be 100% sure about any player. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30783]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing that experience tells me is you can't be 100% sure about any player.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor shall derision prove powerful against those who listen to humanity or those who follow in the footsteps of divinity, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nor shall derision prove powerful against those who listen to humanity or those who follow in the footsteps of divinity, for they shall live forever.
