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[I cannot discover that anyone knows enough to say definitely what is and what is not possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47793]]></link><description><![CDATA[I cannot discover that anyone knows enough to say definitely what is and what is not possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46910]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the ultimate end of man, to find the One which is in him; which is his truth, which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26320]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the ultimate end of man, to find the One which is in him; which is his truth, which is his soul; the key with which he opens the gate of the spiritual life, the heavenly kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll be at charges for a looking-glass And entertain a score or two of tailors  To study fashions to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15349]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll be at charges for a looking-glass And entertain a score or two of tailors  To study fashions to adorn my body:   Since I am crept in favor with myself,    I will maintain it with some little cost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most basic inherent constraint is that neither time nor wisdom are free goods available in unlimited quantity.

The human family is our best illustration of how each person grows in his unique potentialities by sharing in the loving care of a society of other persons. Yet each member of the family discovers what it is to give of himself for the sake of the others. The human family is only an analogy both for our thought about God and about society; but no Christian thought gets very far away from it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're driving an extra 10 miles for the same amount of tax. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40912]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're driving an extra 10 miles for the same amount of tax.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He talks nonsense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51803]]></link><description><![CDATA[He talks nonsense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless.
