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[A name is a label, and as soon as there is a label, the ideas disappear and out comes label-worship ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44100]]></link><description><![CDATA[A name is a label, and as soon as there is a label, the ideas disappear and out comes label-worship and label-bashing, and instead of living by a theme of ideas, people begin dying for labels... and the last thing the world needs is another religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[You reporters] should have printed what he meant, not what he said. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27633]]></link><description><![CDATA[[You reporters] should have printed what he meant, not what he said.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people would rather die than think; in fact, they do so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11328]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people would rather die than think; in fact, they do so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27710]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are as many opinions as there are experts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44963]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are as many opinions as there are experts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In that fierce light which beats upon a throne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54522]]></link><description><![CDATA[In that fierce light which beats upon a throne.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing so conclusively proves a man's ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing so conclusively proves a man's ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Firelight will not let you read fine stories but it's warm and you won't see the dust on the floor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25073]]></link><description><![CDATA[Firelight will not let you read fine stories but it's warm and you won't see the dust on the floor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage doesn't always roar.
