Abp. William Temple  November 7, 2001 Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739   The social gospel is not an addendum to the gospel; it is the gospel. If we read the Gospels, it becomes clear that it was not what Jesus said about God that got him into trouble (but) his treatment of men and women, his way of being friendly with outcasts with whom no respectable Jew would have anything to do. It has always been fairly safe to talk about God; it is when we start to talk about men that the trouble starts. And yet the fact remains that there is no conceivable way of proving that we love God other than by loving men. And there is no conceivable way of proving that we love men than by doing something for those who most need help.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a sort of men whose visages Do cream and mantle like a standing pond. -The Merchant of Venice. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55544]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are a sort of men whose visages Do cream and mantle like a standing pond. -The Merchant of Venice.

You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If hooking a car battery up to a monkey's brain will help find the cure for AIDS and save somebody's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20453]]></link><description><![CDATA[If hooking a car battery up to a monkey's brain will help find the cure for AIDS and save somebody's life, I have two things to say... the red is positive and the black is negative.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First of all, writing at best - certainly fiction writing - more and more I think is magic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39594]]></link><description><![CDATA[First of all, writing at best - certainly fiction writing - more and more I think is magic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is my depressed stance.

Theologia Germanica    November 12, 1997  The Partisan Review, a journal of literary opinion representing a section of advanced secular thought, recently published a series of papers answering the question, "Why has there been a turn toward religion among intellectuals?" The asking of the question is significant. Few writers dispute the fact implied by it. Most of the contributors, whether they count themselves among those who have "turned to religion" or not, find the principal reason for it in the collapse of the optimistic hope that modern science and human good will would bring the world into an era of peace and justice. The confidence in that outcome has been so violently shaken that men must ask whether there are not higher resources than man's to sustain courage and hope. The faith of the Bible points to such sources. God works within the tragic destiny of human efforts with a healing power, and a reconciling spirit. Even those who have felt completely superior to all "outworn" religious notions, must look today at least wistfully to the possibility that such a God lives and works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16958]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and its sincerity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is an incurable disease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is an incurable disease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10267]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22196]]></link><description><![CDATA[And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just knowing you have Khabibulan, that confidence in the great goaltending, you seem to just play better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just knowing you have Khabibulan, that confidence in the great goaltending, you seem to just play better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're sort of like a little ballerina shoe, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35799]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're sort of like a little ballerina shoe,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The novel is born of disillusionment; the poem, of despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64328]]></link><description><![CDATA[The novel is born of disillusionment; the poem, of despair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26978]]></link><description><![CDATA[Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26978</guid></item></channel></rss>
