("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[It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53028]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trying to get the attention of the audience in the opposite way it's done in Hollywood today, which is to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28760]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trying to get the attention of the audience in the opposite way it's done in Hollywood today, which is to bombard the audience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One may as well be asleep as to read for anything but to improve his mind and morals, and regulate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43141]]></link><description><![CDATA[One may as well be asleep as to read for anything but to improve his mind and morals, and regulate his conduct.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Folks that blurt out just what they think wouldn't be so bad if they thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20085]]></link><description><![CDATA[Folks that blurt out just what they think wouldn't be so bad if they thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At middle age the soul should be opening up like a rose, not closing up like a cabbage ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38585]]></link><description><![CDATA[At middle age the soul should be opening up like a rose, not closing up like a cabbage]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're between any sort of devil and the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea sometimes looks very inviting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12185]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're between any sort of devil and the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea sometimes looks very inviting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Act as if it were impossible to fail ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/476]]></link><description><![CDATA[Act as if it were impossible to fail]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The swan, with arched neck Between her white wings mantling proudly, rows  Her state with oary feet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58455]]></link><description><![CDATA[The swan, with arched neck Between her white wings mantling proudly, rows  Her state with oary feet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Baseball is like church.
