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[There are two tragedies in life: one is to lose your heart's desire, the other is to gain it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59548]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two tragedies in life: one is to lose your heart's desire, the other is to gain it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never laugh at live dragons. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66019]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never laugh at live dragons.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind, which are delivered down from generation to generation, as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4525]]></link><description><![CDATA[Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind, which are delivered down from generation to generation, as presents to the posterity of those who are yet unborn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There ought to be a system of manners in every nation which a well-formed mind would be disposed to relish. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10236]]></link><description><![CDATA[There ought to be a system of manners in every nation which a well-formed mind would be disposed to relish.
