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[But all lost things are in the angels' keeping, Love; No past is dead for us, but only sleeping, Love; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20614]]></link><description><![CDATA[But all lost things are in the angels' keeping, Love; No past is dead for us, but only sleeping, Love;  The years of Heaven with all earth's little pain   Make Good    Together there we can begin again     In babyhood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet bird, that shun the noise of folly, most musical, most melancholy! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26866]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet bird, that shun the noise of folly, most musical, most melancholy!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the corporate perspective, open source is a means, not an end, and if you confuse those you're going to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34574]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the corporate perspective, open source is a means, not an end, and if you confuse those you're going to have problems.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In some awful, strange, paradoxical way, atheists tend to take religion more seriously than the practitioners. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3414]]></link><description><![CDATA[In some awful, strange, paradoxical way, atheists tend to take religion more seriously than the practitioners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The finest eloquence is that which gets things done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22604]]></link><description><![CDATA[The finest eloquence is that which gets things done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It depends on what these organizations tell us they need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29038]]></link><description><![CDATA[It depends on what these organizations tell us they need.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The woman that deliberates is lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48601]]></link><description><![CDATA[The woman that deliberates is lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This year, our only issue is competitiveness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30205]]></link><description><![CDATA[This year, our only issue is competitiveness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Smile don't frown Look up don't look downBelieve in yourself Don't let yourself goJust be who you areAnd let your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40180]]></link><description><![CDATA[Smile don't frown Look up don't look downBelieve in yourself Don't let yourself goJust be who you areAnd let your live flow..]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will scarce think you have swam in a gondola. -As You Like It.

Encased in the skin of a sheep, he pastured with the flock deceiving the shepherd by his costume. In the evening he was shut up by the shepherd in the fold; the gate was closed, and the entrance made thoroughly secure. But the shepherd, returning to the fold during the night to obtain meat for the next day, mistakenly caught up the Wolf instead of a sheep, and killed him instantly. Harm seek.

Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and "progress," everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man's refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent. As Oscar Wilde truly said, "Disobedience was man's Original Virtue."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The defense, for myself and for those for whom I am responsible, must be a conscious defense.

We cannot assume that, because we are Christians, in the full biblical sense, and indwelt by the Holy Spirit, automatically we shall be free from the influence of what surrounds us. The Holy Spirit can do what He will, but the Bible does not separate His work from knowledge; nor does the work of the Holy Spirit remove our responsibility as parents, pastors, evangelists, missionaries, or teachers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To taste many things bespeaks but a poor appetite.
