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[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690  The peculiarity of ill temper is that it is the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7259]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690  The peculiarity of ill temper is that it is the vice of the virtuous. It is often the one blot on an otherwise noble character. You know men who are all but perfect, and women who would be entirely perfect, but for an easily ruffled, quick-tempered, or "touchy" disposition. This compatibility of ill temper with high moral character is one of the strangest and saddest problems of ethics... No form of vice -- not worldliness, not greed of gold, not drunkenness itself -- does more to unChristianize society than evil temper. For embittering life, for breaking up communities, for destroying the most sacred relationships, for devastating homes, for withering up men and women, for taking the bloom off of childhood -- in short, for sheer, gratuitous misery-producing power -- this influence stands alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't put too fine a point to your wit for fear it should get blunted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't put too fine a point to your wit for fear it should get blunted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Actually punching is a mistake; a heavy hitter will cut you with one shot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28857]]></link><description><![CDATA[Actually punching is a mistake; a heavy hitter will cut you with one shot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is the window to man's soul.

Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like: His mighty steed was fast as the wind, on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three, any loose talk about a beloved having a face that could launch a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed own a very large seaport. Patrician Olaf II was eventually killed during an experiment conducted in the palace grounds to prove the disputed accuracy of the proverb The Pen is mightier than the Sword.In his memory it was decided that the proverb would from now on include the phrase: only if the Sword is very small and the Pen very sharp.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8351]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let it serve for table-talk. -The Merchant of Venice.
