To feel that we can rest on our achievements is a dangerous fallacy. Inner strength can overcome anything that occurs outside.

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://maxioms.com/maxiom/7896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[because that was the only way they felt they could survive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33571]]></link><description><![CDATA[because that was the only way they felt they could survive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of English Saints & Martyrs of the Reformation Continuing a series on the person of Jesus:  We might ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7503]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of English Saints & Martyrs of the Reformation Continuing a series on the person of Jesus:  We might have said beforehand, if we had been told that God was coming into a man's life, ... "That must be something very terrible and awful. That certainly must rend and tear the life to which God comes. At least, it will separate it and make it unnatural and strange. God fills a bush with His glory and it burns. God enters into the great mountain, and it rocks with earthquake. When he comes to occupy a man, He must distort the humanity which He occupies into some inhuman shape." Instead of that, this new life into which God comes, seems to be the most quietly, naturally human life that was ever seen upon the earth. It glides into its place like sunlight. It seems to make it evident that God and man are essentially so near together, that the meeting of their natures in the life of a God-man is not strange. So always does Christ deal with His own nature, accepting His Divinity as you and I accept our humanity, and letting it shine out through the envelope with which it has most subtly and mysteriously mingled, as the soul is mingled with and shines out through the body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who is not sure of his memory, should not undertake the trade of lying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60320]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who is not sure of his memory, should not undertake the trade of lying.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Giving advice to a stupid man is like giving salt to a squirrel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Giving advice to a stupid man is like giving salt to a squirrel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For men use, if they have an evil tourne, to write it in marble; and whoso doth us a good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43047]]></link><description><![CDATA[For men use, if they have an evil tourne, to write it in marble; and whoso doth us a good tourne we will write it in duste.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The valid research for the future is on the inner side, on thespiritual side. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21132]]></link><description><![CDATA[The valid research for the future is on the inner side, on thespiritual side.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's actually going to be the hassle of your life and the hassle of your family's life and you may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33678]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's actually going to be the hassle of your life and the hassle of your family's life and you may never get out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The public is a lot more forgiving of people with true problems.
