Consider Christ's proceeding with Peter in the ship, in the storm: First he suffered him to be in some danger in the storm, but then he visits him with that strong assurance, "Be not afraid, It is I": any testimony of his presence rectifies all. This puts Peter into that spiritual confidence and courage, "Lord bid me come to thee"; he hath a desire to be with Christ, but yet stays his bidding: he puts not himself into an unnecessary danger, without commandment: Christ bids him, and Peter comes: but yet, though Christ were in his sight, and even in the actual exercise of his love to him, so soon as he saw a gust, a storm, "He was afraid"; and Christ lets him fear, and lets him sink, and lets him cry, but he directs his fear and his cry to the right end: "Lord, save me"; and thereupon he stretched forth his hand and saved him...   God puts his children into good ways, and he directs and protects them in those ways; for this is the constancy and perseverence of the love of Jesus Christ to us, as he is called in this text (Matt. 21:44), a stone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius does what it must, talent does what it can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58597]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius does what it must, talent does what it can.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Above all, it is not necessary that we should have any unexpected, extraordinary experiences in meditation.

This can happen, but if it does not, it is not a sign that the meditation period has been useless. Not only at the beginning, but repeatedly, there will be times when we feel a great spiritual dryness and apathy, an aversion, even an inability to meditate. We dare not be balked by such experiences. Above all, we must not allow them to keep us from adhering to our meditation period with great patience and fidelity.  It is, therefore, not good for us to take too seriously the many untoward experiences we have with ourselves in meditation. It is here that our old vanity and our illicit claims upon God may creep in by a pious detour, as if it were our right to have nothing but elevating and fruitful experiences, and as if the discovery of our own inner poverty were quite beneath our dignity. With that attitude, we shall make no progress.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45995]]></link><description><![CDATA[A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On Blur bassist Alex James: I used to punch Alex a lot.
