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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is crime amongst the multitude, is only vice among the few. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10692]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is crime amongst the multitude, is only vice among the few.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1321]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My fond affection thou hast seen, Then judge of my regret  To think more happy thou hadst been  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61863]]></link><description><![CDATA[My fond affection thou hast seen, Then judge of my regret  To think more happy thou hadst been   If we had never met!    And has that thought been shared by thee?     Ah, no! that smiling cheek      Proves more unchanging love for me       Than labor'd words could speak.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against an enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61215]]></link><description><![CDATA[How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against an enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She also won the gold medal in the Super Quiz and essay components.

This can happen, but if it does not, it is not a sign that the meditation period has been useless. Not only at the beginning, but repeatedly, there will be times when we feel a great spiritual dryness and apathy, an aversion, even an inability to meditate. We dare not be balked by such experiences. Above all, we must not allow them to keep us from adhering to our meditation period with great patience and fidelity.  It is, therefore, not good for us to take too seriously the many untoward experiences we have with ourselves in meditation. It is here that our old vanity and our illicit claims upon God may creep in by a pious detour, as if it were our right to have nothing but elevating and fruitful experiences, and as if the discovery of our own inner poverty were quite beneath our dignity. With that attitude, we shall make no progress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a woman I have no country.
