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[This ban was enacted at the federal level, and Congress decided that it was an ineffective tool to combat violent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29261]]></link><description><![CDATA[This ban was enacted at the federal level, and Congress decided that it was an ineffective tool to combat violent crime, and as a result they did not renew it in 2004.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It costs to be stupid.

Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sinning is the best part of repentance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56405]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sinning is the best part of repentance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26220]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fate of nations is intimately bound up with their powers of reproduction.

This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren? Since every sin of a member burdens and indicts the whole community, the congregation rejoices, in the midst of all the pain and the burden that the brother's sin inflicts, that it has the privilege of bearing and forgiving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So long as we stand "under the Law", we cannot perceive this hidden unity of all the commandments.
