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[He alone is an acute observer, who can observe minutely without being observed ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44784]]></link><description><![CDATA[He alone is an acute observer, who can observe minutely without being observed]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1741]]></link><description><![CDATA[None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10256]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judicial independence is the bulwark of our system.

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[However exalted our position, we should still not despise the powers of the humble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50840]]></link><description><![CDATA[However exalted our position, we should still not despise the powers of the humble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54165]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
