Those evil-disposed Dogs have much to answer for. They always bark whenever we approach you and attack us before we have done any harm.

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 spiritual is the parent of the practical. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57408]]></link><description><![CDATA[The spiritual is the parent of the practical.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's interesting to have been on the one side a chaplain, intern in the prison system and now fighting to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40384]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's interesting to have been on the one side a chaplain, intern in the prison system and now fighting to keep people out of prison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words of affection, howsoe'er express'd, The latest spoken still are deem'd the best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62034]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words of affection, howsoe'er express'd, The latest spoken still are deem'd the best.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who cannot resist temptation is not a man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58919]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who cannot resist temptation is not a man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In 1998, Linux had 16 percent of the server operating system market, and in 1999, it already had 25 percent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40461]]></link><description><![CDATA[In 1998, Linux had 16 percent of the server operating system market, and in 1999, it already had 25 percent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You study, you learn, but you guard the original naivete.
