Sing, creatures, sing; the dust that lives by lure and lust Is kindled by the thrust of life undying; This hope our Master bare has made all fortunes fair, And man can on and dare, his death defying.

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 you would have a good wife, marry one who has been a good daughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61857]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you would have a good wife, marry one who has been a good daughter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort.

They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application.
