You pull and you pull, but you can't get the rock out of the ground. So you give it a good kick, but you lose your balance and go skidding down the hill toward the pool. Then out comes a big Hawaiian man who was screwing his wife beside the pool because they thought it was real pretty.

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[There are two perfect men; one dead, and the other unborn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62835]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two perfect men; one dead, and the other unborn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your damned nonsense can I stand twice or once, but sometimes always, by God, never. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your damned nonsense can I stand twice or once, but sometimes always, by God, never.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Looking out of a hospital window is different from looking out of any other.

One might even say [that] Jesus was more revolutionary than the revolutionaries, or revolutionary in a very different way.

He assembled a good many Foxes and publicly advised them to cut off their tails, saying that they would not only look much better without them, but that they would get rid of the weight of the brush, which was a very great inconvenience.
