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[When sorrows come, they come not single spies, But in battalions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51271]]></link><description><![CDATA[When sorrows come, they come not single spies, But in battalions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13374]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My question is whether we need the legislation because these arrests have taken place under the existing laws and it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29076]]></link><description><![CDATA[My question is whether we need the legislation because these arrests have taken place under the existing laws and it appears that the current laws are working efficiently,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With self-discipline most anything is possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12400]]></link><description><![CDATA[With self-discipline most anything is possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the first quarter we were a little slow to get into our motion.

But man, being himself a part of fallen nature and subject to its disordered properties, is not allowed to work with them, because it would be stirring up evil in himself, and that is his sin of wrath or revenge. God therefore reserves all vengeance to Himself, not because wrathful revenge is a temper or quality that can have any place in the holy Deity, but because the holy supernatural Deity, being free from all the properties of nature, whence partial love and hatred spring, and being in Himself nothing but an infinity of love, wisdom, and goodness, He alone knows how to overrule the disorders of nature, and so to repay evil with evil, that the highest good may be promoted by it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We still feel the Jets should be in Queens.
