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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21040]]></link><description><![CDATA[As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bob's devotion to the craft of filmmaking and his wealth of head-and-heart knowledge about what we do and how we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bob's devotion to the craft of filmmaking and his wealth of head-and-heart knowledge about what we do and how we do it was a special gift to his fellow directors,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tygers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62373]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tygers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to go berry picking on the hogback, God.Keep me on a short leash. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17699]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want to go berry picking on the hogback, God.Keep me on a short leash.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two levers for moving men: interest and fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22948]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two levers for moving men: interest and fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us- in the dreariest and most dreaded moments- can see ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42935]]></link><description><![CDATA[God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us- in the dreariest and most dreaded moments- can see a possibility of hope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't have to have body guards yet, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40579]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't have to have body guards yet,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy is increased by spreading it to others ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy is increased by spreading it to others]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was frustrating because I didn't know how he died.

Jesus says His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can not be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow, in which no work can be done any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Polar Express is about faith, and the power of imagination to sustain faith.
