First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Erik was running slow, he was pacing me.

The meditations are not clear to us until the mouth utters its words. If what the mouth utters is unclear or foolish or mendacious, it must be that the meditations are the same. But the line runs both ways. The words of the mouth will become the meditations of the heart, and the habit of loose talk loosens the fastenings of our understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's all priced in; we hope that the trade data may take the real and the bourse higher this week. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35000]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's all priced in; we hope that the trade data may take the real and the bourse higher this week.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Losing was a shock, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Losing was a shock,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Lanfranc, Prior of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1089   I whould be very sorry that any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7332]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Lanfranc, Prior of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1089   I whould be very sorry that any man living should outgo me in desires that all who fear God throughout the world, especially in these nations, were of one way as well as of one heart. I know I desire it sincerely; but I do verily believe that when God shall accomplish it, it will be the effect of love, and not the cause of love.

He reaches out to foreigners who are beyond the borders of the "Israel of God". He seeks the release of captives, prisoners, and slaves. He denounces the scribes and religious leaders who "devour the houses of widows". Despite his well-known requirement of loyalty that surpasses family ties, he insists that a man put the care of his own parents ahead of his obligations to his religion. His treatment of women is radically opposed to the strictures of that day. He exhibits sympathy and understanding toward children. He operates an out-patient clinic wherever he happens to be. He insists upon justice as the basis for everyday dealings between citizens. The social teaching of parables like "the good Samaritan" and incidents such as the encounter with the rich young ruler have had an effect upon his followers that cannot easily be measured. If one summary statement of Jesus' ethics can be made, it is that love of God is best shown by love of fellow men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise traveler never despises his own country. [It., Un viaggiatore prudente non disprezza mai il suo paese.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59618]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise traveler never despises his own country. [It., Un viaggiatore prudente non disprezza mai il suo paese.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wild animals never kill for sport.
