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[Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim.

Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59275]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have worked with Joey at Test level - it would be terrific to work with him again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31629]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have worked with Joey at Test level - it would be terrific to work with him again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An oyster may be crossed in love!
