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 is nothing more imprudent than excessive prudence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51983]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing more imprudent than excessive prudence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind has exactly the same power as the hands; not merely to grasp the world, but to change it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46247]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind has exactly the same power as the hands; not merely to grasp the world, but to change it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's up to Gary.

It is only when we see ourselves as actors in a staged (and therefore unreal) performance that death loses its frightfulness and finality and becomes an act of make-believe and a theatrical gesture. It is one of the main tasks of a real leader to mask the grim reality of dying and killing by evoking in his followers the illusion that they are participating in a grandiose spectacle, a solemn or lighthearted dramatic performance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2283]]></link><description><![CDATA[To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be a good deal more important than what we are entitled to demand of it -- this is a hard lesson.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When my water-proof umbrella proved a sieve, sieve, sieve, When my shiny new umbrella proved a sieve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60001]]></link><description><![CDATA[When my water-proof umbrella proved a sieve, sieve, sieve, When my shiny new umbrella proved a sieve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jealousy is all the fun you think they had. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jealousy is all the fun you think they had.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe this payola scandal may represent the most widespread and flagrant violation of any FCC rules in the history ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38985]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe this payola scandal may represent the most widespread and flagrant violation of any FCC rules in the history of American broadcasting.
