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[Come what come may, Time and the hour runs through the roughest day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51375]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come what come may, Time and the hour runs through the roughest day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is passion tamed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is passion tamed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65963]]></link><description><![CDATA[I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea.

To this it must be said that, for the mature Christian, every Scripture reading will be "too long", even the shortest one, [for] the Scripture is a whole, and every word, every sentence, possesses such multiple relationships with the whole that it is impossible always to keep the whole in view when listening to details. It becomes apparent, therefore, that the whole of Scripture, and hence every passage in it as well, far surpasses our understanding. It is good for us to be daily reminded of this fact.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Defeat never comes to any man until he admits it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11806]]></link><description><![CDATA[Defeat never comes to any man until he admits it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing splendid was ever created in cold blood.
