The old prophets, when they would describe things emphatically, did not only draw parables from things which offered themselves, as from the rent of a garment, ... from the vessels of a potter, ... but also, when such objects were wanting, they supplied them by their own actions, as by rending a garment, ... by shooting, ... etc. By such types the prophets loved to speak. And Christ, being endued with a nobler prophet spirit than the rest, excelled also in this kind of speaking, yet so as not to speak by His own actions -- [which would have been] less grave and decent -- but to turn into parables such things as offered themselves. On occasion of the harvest approaching, He admonishes His disciples once and again of the spiritual harvest. Seeing the lilies of the field, He admonishes His disciples about clothing. In allusion to the present season of fruits, He admonishes His disciples about knowing men by their fruits. In the time of the Passover, when trees put forth their leaves, He bids His disciples, "learn a parable from the fig-tree".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are people who can do all fine and heroic things but one: keep from telling their happiness to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12313]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are people who can do all fine and heroic things but one: keep from telling their happiness to the unhappy]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your past is important but it is not nearly as important to your present as the way you see your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59009]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your past is important but it is not nearly as important to your present as the way you see your future]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The immortal could we cease to contemplate, The mortal part suggests its every trait.  God laid His fingers on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43176]]></link><description><![CDATA[The immortal could we cease to contemplate, The mortal part suggests its every trait.  God laid His fingers on the ivories   Of her pure members as on smoothed keys,    And there out-breathed her spirit's harmonies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43176</guid></item></channel></rss>
