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[We do all the appropriating.

[Francis] always knew where the real miracle lay. It was not in things that happened to his body, though they were wonderful enough. It was not to be found in the fact that birds and beasts, even the wolf of Gubbio, felt the spell of his spirit. It was the radiance of light and love breaking across the darkness and hate of the world and his time. He loved lepers. He loved robbers and changed their lives. He loved beggars in their rags. He loved rich men, too, and members of the Church, who needed him as much as the robbers did. He brought Christianity out of forms and creeds and services into the open air, in action and into the movements of life. He changed the entire line of march of religion in the Western World. Brother Masseo, half jesting, asked him once why the whole world was running after him, not very comely, not very wise, not of noble birth. "Why after thee?" "God chose me," Francis answered, "because He could find no one more worthless, and He wished by me to confound the nobility and grandeur, the strength and beauty and learning of the world." But the real answer is that here at last in this wonderful man was an organ of that Spirit which was in Christ, and a marvelous transmitter of it to the world. The divine agape went out into men's lives through him. Here was a childlike lover of men, ready, if need be, to be crucified for love, but also ready in humble everyday tasks to reveal this love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The early bird gets the worm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29083]]></link><description><![CDATA[The early bird gets the worm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One joy scatters a hundred griefs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23443]]></link><description><![CDATA[One joy scatters a hundred griefs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Roche is one of the most outstanding companies in the pharmaceutical industry in our view. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33419]]></link><description><![CDATA[Roche is one of the most outstanding companies in the pharmaceutical industry in our view.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Especially when one of 'em (Jackson) is a guard coach and the other one (Levingston) a big-man coach.
