They are 'His angels, and whatever may be the unknown activity put forth by them in the parting of men, it is all done in obedience to Him. What stupendous claims Jesus makes here! What becomes of the tares is told first in words awful in their plainness, and still more awful in their obscurity.
Wet, famine, ague, fever, storm, wreck, wrath, We have so play'd the coward; but by God's grace, We'll follow Philip's leading, and set up The Holy Office here garner the wheat, And burn the tares with unquenchable fire!" The conclusion, in the acting edition, printed in the Biography, appears to be an improvement on that in the text as originally published.
Remember, the waiting time of a boy's life is that time of silent growing of the moral fiber, the character, and at the proper moment he will rise in the full strength of a well-rounded manhood and take his rightful place in the world of things, while tares which were ever so flourishing go to the dump heap and the trash burning. The mustard seed was very small, lying there in the ground.
"Because, my boy, there is a self-consciousness about all forced things, and the hallmark of the Bohemian is an absolute ingenuousness." "But to return to your example. Suppose the tare among the wheat had always recognized itself had always craved to be a tare with other tares until at length its roots spread and spread and passed beyond the boundary of the wheat-field!

I am not so hard a master. Try me.
I can find no mysticism in her: what she knows she knows, and with the unknowable, which may yet be known, she concerns herself not. Who shall say of the seed I scatter that it will not germinate in this fair garden without weeds and tares, and strike root and blossom at last? For why should she not be a mystic like others? "Constance laughed and answered, 'Can an angel be a mystic?

No one can gather grapes of thorns, or glean corn from a harvest of tares. And no parent who has first unwisely indulged his son, and then ruled him with a rod of iron, can well claim the glad obedience of a free son.
In a mind charged with an eager purpose and an unsatisfied vindictiveness, there is no room for new feelings; Mr. Tulliver did not want spiritual consolation he wanted to shake off the degradation of debt, and to have his revenge. Wheat and Tares In the Red Deeps
