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[The truth is not wonderful enough to suit the newspapers; so they enlarge upon it, and invent ridiculous embellishments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44485]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truth is not wonderful enough to suit the newspapers; so they enlarge upon it, and invent ridiculous embellishments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're walking from the Broadhurst, those eight minutes make a huge difference.
