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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way was long and weary, But gallantly they strode,  A country lad and lassie,   Along the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25459]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way was long and weary, But gallantly they strode,  A country lad and lassie,   Along the heavy road.    The night was dark and stormy,     But blithe of heart were they,      For shining in the distance       The lights of London lay.        O gleaming lights of London, that gem of the city's crown;         What fortunes be within you, O Lights of London Town!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The immature man wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mature man wants to live humanely for one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26587]]></link><description><![CDATA[The immature man wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mature man wants to live humanely for one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're an Italian family, so that is good.
