To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. This is hard. It is perhaps not so hard to forgive a single injury. But to forgive the incessant provocations of daily life -- to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son -- how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it means to refuse God's mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what He says.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chuse none for thy servant who have served thy betters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49175]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chuse none for thy servant who have served thy betters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A quiet conscience makes one so serene! Christians have burnt each other, quite persuaded  That all the Apostles would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9791]]></link><description><![CDATA[A quiet conscience makes one so serene! Christians have burnt each other, quite persuaded  That all the Apostles would have done as they did.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man is a hero to his valet. [Fr., Il n'y a pas de grand homme pour son valet-de-chambre.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19225]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man is a hero to his valet. [Fr., Il n'y a pas de grand homme pour son valet-de-chambre.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The high-tech arena is one of the areas where we are seeing the most growth in sabbatical programs.
