We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily; we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing; we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard. Whoever is had (as it is called) in company for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light; consequently never respected, let his merits be what they will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good and not quite all the time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17860]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good and not quite all the time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll; charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63767]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll; charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men have not been concerned with fame.
