We do not get the soul in different ways, under different laws, from those in which we get the body and the mind. If a man does not exercise his arm, he develops no biceps muscles and if a man does not exercise his soul, he acquires no muscle in his soul, no strength of character, no vigour of moral fibre, nor beauty of spiritual growth. Love is not a thing of enthusiastic emotion. It is a rich, strong, manly, vigorous expression of the whole round Christian character -- the Christ-like nature in its fullest development. And the constituents of this great character are only to be built up by ceaseless practice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writers are a little below clowns and a little above trained seals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writers are a little below clowns and a little above trained seals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What happiness the rural maid attends, In cheerful labour while each day she spends!  She gratefully receives what Heav'n ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9945]]></link><description><![CDATA[What happiness the rural maid attends, In cheerful labour while each day she spends!  She gratefully receives what Heav'n has sent,   And, rich in poverty, enjoys content.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The NCAA is an exceptional meet.

Secular education seems to me intellectually clean and comprehensible. Moral instruction seems to me unclean, intolerable; I would destroy it with fire. Teaching the Old Testament by itself means teaching ancient Hebrew ethics, which are simple, barbaric rudimentary, and, to a Christian, unsatisfying. Teaching moral instruction means teaching modern London, Birmingham and Boston ethics, which are not barbaric and rudimentary, but are corrupt, hysterical and crawling with worms, and which are to a Christian, not unsatisfying but detestable. The old Jew who says that you must fight only for your tribe is inadequate; but the modern prig who says you must never fight for anything is substantially and specifically immoral. I know quite well, of course, that the unreligious ethics suggested for modern schools do not verbally assert these things; they only talk about peaceful reform, true Christianity, and the importance of Count Tolstoy. It is all a matter of tone and implication--but then, so is all teaching. Education is implication. It is not the things you say which children respect; when you say things, they very commonly laugh and do the opposite. It is the things you assume that really sink into them. It is the things you forget even to teach that they learn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63425]]></link><description><![CDATA[As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The diseases of the mind are more and more destructive than those of the body. [Lat., Morbi perniciores pluresque animi ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27513]]></link><description><![CDATA[The diseases of the mind are more and more destructive than those of the body. [Lat., Morbi perniciores pluresque animi quam corporis.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As this is their right in line with the criminal code of the country, the court has recorded their decision ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28426]]></link><description><![CDATA[As this is their right in line with the criminal code of the country, the court has recorded their decision of choice as a plea of not guilty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good cause can become bad if we fight for it with means that are indiscriminately murderous.
