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://maxioms.com/maxiom/7144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The noisy and extensive scene of crowds without company, and dissipation without pleasure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56766]]></link><description><![CDATA[The noisy and extensive scene of crowds without company, and dissipation without pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11171]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6107]]></link><description><![CDATA[As human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature.
