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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy the man, of mortals happiest he, Whose quiet mind from vain desires is free;  Whom neither hopes deceive, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy the man, of mortals happiest he, Whose quiet mind from vain desires is free;  Whom neither hopes deceive, nor fears torment,   But lives at peace, within himself content;    In thought, or act, accountable to none     But to himself, and to the gods alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of William Law, Priest, Mystic, 1761  Commemoration of William of Ockham, Franciscan Friar, Philosopher, Teacher, 1347 Commemoration of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of William Law, Priest, Mystic, 1761  Commemoration of William of Ockham, Franciscan Friar, Philosopher, Teacher, 1347 Commemoration of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Priest, Scientist, Visionary, 1955  Christianity does not consist in any partial amendment of our lives, any particular moral virtues, but in an entire change of our natural temper, a life wholly devoted to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But honest instinct comes a volunteer; Sure never to o'er-shoot, but just to hit,  While still too wide or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22829]]></link><description><![CDATA[But honest instinct comes a volunteer; Sure never to o'er-shoot, but just to hit,  While still too wide or short in human wit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where were you fellows when the paper was blank? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where were you fellows when the paper was blank?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35135</guid></item></channel></rss>
