Beauty exalts, but beauty also lulls. Early associations endear, but they also confuse.

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[Every noble crown is, and on Earth will forever be, a crown of thorns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every noble crown is, and on Earth will forever be, a crown of thorns.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When in doubt, make a fool of yourself.

There is no telling to what extremes of cruelty and ruthlessness a man will go when he is freed from the fears, hesitations, doubts and the vague stirrings of decency that go with individual judgement.
