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[In modern war, the longest purse decides oftener than the longest sword. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47265]]></link><description><![CDATA[In modern war, the longest purse decides oftener than the longest sword.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The spiritual virtue of a sacrament is like light; although it passes among the impure, it is not polluted. [Lat., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10189]]></link><description><![CDATA[The spiritual virtue of a sacrament is like light; although it passes among the impure, it is not polluted. [Lat., Spiritalis enim virtus sacramenti ita est ut lux: etsi per immundos transeat, non inquinatur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, Ere the sorrow comes with years?  They are leaning their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, Ere the sorrow comes with years?  They are leaning their young heads against their mothers,   And that cannot stop their tears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[George W.

One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. He gave me this advice, his companion replied. Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know, I guess I figured out that in a relationship you can't choose when you want to like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25882]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know, I guess I figured out that in a relationship you can't choose when you want to like this person or that one...you're in a relationship for a reason and you need to stick with it or give it up.
