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[If intellection and knowledge were mere passion from without, or the bare reception of extraneous and adventitious forms, then no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46288]]></link><description><![CDATA[If intellection and knowledge were mere passion from without, or the bare reception of extraneous and adventitious forms, then no reason could be given at all why a mirror or looking-glass should not understand; whereas it cannot so much as sensibly perceive those images which it receives and reflects to us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Westminster Abbey, or Victory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Westminster Abbey, or Victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To murder character is as truly a crime as to murder the body: the tongue of the slanderer is brother ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56562]]></link><description><![CDATA[To murder character is as truly a crime as to murder the body: the tongue of the slanderer is brother to the dagger of the assassin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63223]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[British people don't feel they can tear themselves away from their desk, and have developed a very functional relationship with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42184]]></link><description><![CDATA[British people don't feel they can tear themselves away from their desk, and have developed a very functional relationship with food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Walls have tongues, and hedges ears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Walls have tongues, and hedges ears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Attired to please herself: no gems of any kind She wore, nor aught of borrowed gloss in Nature's stead;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2766]]></link><description><![CDATA[Attired to please herself: no gems of any kind She wore, nor aught of borrowed gloss in Nature's stead;  And, then her long, loose hair flung round her head   Fell carelessly behind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Lorenzo, If thou keep promise, I shall end this strife,  Become a Christian and thy loving wife! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6172]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Lorenzo, If thou keep promise, I shall end this strife,  Become a Christian and thy loving wife!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65915]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano,— A stage, where every man must play a part; And mine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55542]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano,— A stage, where every man must play a part; And mine a sad one. -The Merchant of Venice.
