Once again, G.K. Chesterton to the rescue, this time, from The Club of Queer Trades (which by the way is NOT a reference to the YouTube video rumor about Obama...):

Things came to a head in that celebrated diamond case in which the Prime Minister himself, that brilliant patrician, had to come forward, gracefully and reluctantly, to give evidence against his valet. After the detailed life of the household had been thoroughly exhibited, the judge requested the Premier again to step forward, which he did with quiet dignity. The judge then said, in a sudden, grating voice: "Get a new soul. That thing's not fit for a dog. Get a new soul."

Cheers!

Here's a good one from Chesterton's intellectual heir CS Lewis:

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body
