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[Fear is the mother of foresight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16463]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear is the mother of foresight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A politician will always tip off his true belief by stating the opposite at the beginning of the sentence.

For maximum comprehension, do not start listening until the first clause is concluded. Begin instead at the word "but" which begins the second, or active, clause. This is the way to tell a liberal from a conservative -- before they tell you. Thus: "I have always believed in a strong national defense, second to none, but ... " (a liberal, about to propose a $20 billion defense cut).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65336]]></link><description><![CDATA[True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What do you first do when you learn to swim?

You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim?

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its savor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens betrays God when a man's mind works that way. Things have all this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Father! no prophet's laws I seek,-- Thy laws in Nature's works appear;--  I own myself corrupt and weak,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48051]]></link><description><![CDATA[Father! no prophet's laws I seek,-- Thy laws in Nature's works appear;--  I own myself corrupt and weak,   Yet will I pray, for thou wilt hear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neurosis is the way of avoiding non-being by avoiding being ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44401]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neurosis is the way of avoiding non-being by avoiding being]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes time for the absent to assume their true shape in our thoughts.
