The argument from prophecy, on which the early apologists laid so much weight, was all ex post facto. No one beforehand could have conjectured a tenth of it. But without the background of Jewish prophet and psalmist, of Jewish national history, it would be hard to understand Jesus. If prophet and historian and legislator did not in type and enigma foretell in detail the story of his life, he was none the less their heir. None the less was he their heir in that he was not in bondage to his inheritance, but... a "minister not of the letter but of the spirit", and the whole of his activity lay "in newness of spirit". Without conjecturing what he might have been on another soil or of another stock--a type of guesswork always futile in history--we have to recognize the... immense spiritual wealth that lay ready to his hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be ever engaged, so that whenever the devil calls he may find you occupied. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50411]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be ever engaged, so that whenever the devil calls he may find you occupied.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Studious of ease, and fond of humble things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58043]]></link><description><![CDATA[Studious of ease, and fond of humble things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character is more important than intelligence for success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1209]]></link><description><![CDATA[Character is more important than intelligence for success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The occupation will pay a heavy price for this crime, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28612]]></link><description><![CDATA[The occupation will pay a heavy price for this crime,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great pity were it if this beneficence of Providence should be marr'd in the ordering, so as to justly merit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great pity were it if this beneficence of Providence should be marr'd in the ordering, so as to justly merit the Reflection of the old proverb, that though God sends us meat, yet the D------does cooks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find it unusual that it is more socially acceptable to complain about what you have than it is to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1271]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find it unusual that it is more socially acceptable to complain about what you have than it is to ask for what you want.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm a more traditional baseball person.
