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...

When the soul has sincerely given itself up to God, He fills it with His own peace, a peace which makes all earthly things indifferent -- as before His Presence, absorbing the heart. It is our strength, our comfort, our guide, the deeper and more confirmed it becomes, the greater our spiritual perfection; so that in truth to obtain and preserve this peace is the real secret of the interior life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A heathy garden is a reflection of a healthy soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17192]]></link><description><![CDATA[A heathy garden is a reflection of a healthy soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1438]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47870]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You hate to see a superstar go beyond that point where he should.

Here, in 1878, Engels apodictically announced that military weapons are "now so perfected that no further progress of any revolutionizing influence is any longer possible." Henceforth "all further [technological] progress is by and large indifferent for land warfare. The age of evolution is in this regard essentially closed." This complacent conclusion shows in what the achievement of the innovator consists: he accomplishes what other people believe to be unthinkable and unfeasible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as much as the dog does. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12676]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as much as the dog does.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Night of the Wolf, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Night of the Wolf,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29442</guid></item></channel></rss>
