("To know all is to forgive all.") ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on forgiveness:   Tout comprendre, c'est tout pardonner. ("To know all is to forgive all.") No commonplace is more untrue. Behavior, whether conditioned by an individual neurosis or by society, can be understood, that is to say, one knows exactly why such and such an individual behaves as he does. But a personal action or deed is always mysterious. When we really act, precisely because it is a matter of free choice, we can never say exactly why we do this rather than that. But it is only deeds that we are required to forgive. If someone does me an injury, the question of forgiveness only arises if I am convinced (a) that the injury he did me was a free act on his part and therefore no less mysterious to him than to me, and (b) that it was me personally whom he meant to injure. Christ does not forgive the soldiers who are nailing him to the Cross; he asks the Father to forgive them. He knows as well as they do why they are doing this -- they are a squad, detailed to execute a criminal. They do not know what they are doing, because it is not their business, as executioners, to know whom they are crucifying. If the person who does me an injury does not know what he is doing, then it is as ridiculous for me to talk about forgiving him as it would be for me to "forgive" a tile which falls on my head in a gale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Action is the foundational key to all success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Action is the foundational key to all success.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm attracted to long-legged girls with long arms and a little head. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29023]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm attracted to long-legged girls with long arms and a little head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most noble criticism is that in which the critic is not the antagonist so much as the rival of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10743]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most noble criticism is that in which the critic is not the antagonist so much as the rival of the author.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48295]]></link><description><![CDATA[Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the good news we have been waiting for! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34969]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the good news we have been waiting for!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The shortest follies are the best. [Fr., Les plus courtes folies sont les meilleures.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16331]]></link><description><![CDATA[The shortest follies are the best. [Fr., Les plus courtes folies sont les meilleures.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spritual writer, 1893   We feel that other churches must accept, as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7375]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spritual writer, 1893   We feel that other churches must accept, as the pre-conditions of fellowship, such changes as will bring them into conformity with ourselves in matters which we regard as essential, and that a failure to insist on this will involve compromise in regard to what is essential to the Church's being.
