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[It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible nonconformist warmly acclaimed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9739]]></link><description><![CDATA[It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible nonconformist warmly acclaimed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that I care to know is that a man is a human being--that is enough for me; he can't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26268]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that I care to know is that a man is a human being--that is enough for me; he can't be any worse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody picks on a strong man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody picks on a strong man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and enlivens the other who turns ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and enlivens the other who turns it on his fellow man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[-2 Watch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55438]]></link><description><![CDATA[-2 Watch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Physical courage, which despises all danger, will make a man brave in one way; and moral courage, which despises all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Physical courage, which despises all danger, will make a man brave in one way; and moral courage, which despises all opinion, will make a man brave in another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who talk of reading the Bible "as literature" sometimes mean, I think, reading it without attending to the main ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8542]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who talk of reading the Bible "as literature" sometimes mean, I think, reading it without attending to the main thing it is about; like reading Burke with no interest in politics, or reading the Aeneid with no interest in Rome... But there is a saner sense in which the Bible -- since it is, after all, literature -- cannot properly be read except as literature, and the different parts of it as the different sorts of literature they are. Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry... Otherwise we shall miss what is in them and think we see what is not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We made it our absolute mission to do regional coverage, not just coverage from one city. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39429]]></link><description><![CDATA[We made it our absolute mission to do regional coverage, not just coverage from one city.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58540]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate ingratitude more in a man Than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness,  Or any taint of vie whose strong ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20903]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hate ingratitude more in a man Than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness,  Or any taint of vie whose strong corruption   Inhabits our frail blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Jeremy Taylor, Bishop of Down & Connor, Priest, Teacher, 1667 Commemoration of Florence Nightingale, Social Reformer, 1910 Commemoration ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7290]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Jeremy Taylor, Bishop of Down & Connor, Priest, Teacher, 1667 Commemoration of Florence Nightingale, Social Reformer, 1910 Commemoration of Octavia Hill, Worker for the Poor, 1912   When Abraham sat at his tent door, according to his custom, waiting to entertain strangers, he espied an old man, stooping and leaning on his staff, weary with age and travail, coming towards him, who was a hundred years of age; he received him kindly, washed his feet, provided supper, caused him to sit down; but observing that the old man ate and prayed not, nor begged a blessing on his meat, he asked him why he did not worship the God of heaven. The old man told him that he worshipped the fire only, and acknowledged no other God. At which answer Abraham grew so zealously angry, that he threw the old man out of his tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the night and an unguarded condition. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked him where the stranger was. He replied, "I thrust him away, because he did not worship thee." God answered him, "I have suffered him these hundred years, though he dishonoured me; and wouldst thou not endure him one night?".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weather impacts business across every segment, and this is the most innovative way to hedge that risk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28505]]></link><description><![CDATA[Weather impacts business across every segment, and this is the most innovative way to hedge that risk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sermon on a hat: "'The hat, my boy, the hat, whatever it may be, is in itself nothing--makes nothing, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18889]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sermon on a hat: "'The hat, my boy, the hat, whatever it may be, is in itself nothing--makes nothing, goes for nothing; but, be sure of it, everything is life depends upon the cock of the hat.'
