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[As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64155]]></link><description><![CDATA[As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil that they set out to destroy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Sotero kept quiet, worrying that her family would be targeted.

Not along this track lies the path of moral progress. Christianity says: face the evil once for all, and disown it. Then quiet the spirit in the presence of God. Let His perfections fill the field of vision. In particular, let the concrete embodiment of the goodness of God in Christ attract and absorb the gaze of the soul. Here is the righteousness, not as a fixed and abstract ideal, but in a living human person. The righteousness of Christ is a real achievement of God's own Spirit in man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be careful with your words.

It was no use preaching the gospel only to those who came to church to hear it. The gospel ought to be preached to those who didn't want to hear it as well: to industrialists in their offices, to clubmen in their windows, to workers in their yards and factories, to bibbers in their taverns, to harlots in their doorways, to all those should the sweet tidings of Christ be taught. It was a sorry matter for reflection that it was only heretics who dared to brave the sneers of the mob by crying aloud the Name of Jesus at street corners and in the market place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm really happy that I didn't see Capote until after we wrapped because I probably just would have been daunted ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37935]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm really happy that I didn't see Capote until after we wrapped because I probably just would have been daunted because he was so remarkable in that movie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality.
