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[Death darkens his eyes, and unplumes his wings, Yet the sweetest song is the last he sings:  Live so, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death darkens his eyes, and unplumes his wings, Yet the sweetest song is the last he sings:  Live so, my Love, that when death shall come,   Swan-like and sweet it may waft thee home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've done a good job taking it one game at a time.
