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[We have information that groups of people were bussed from one polling station to another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30897]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have information that groups of people were bussed from one polling station to another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14230]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help. -Albert Schweitzer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moon rocks are OK when everyone is eating ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Moon rocks are OK when everyone is eating]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing you will take through those pearly gates is what youhave given away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22319]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing you will take through those pearly gates is what youhave given away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; The best of life is but intoxication:  Glory, the grape, love, gold, in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; The best of life is but intoxication:  Glory, the grape, love, gold, in these are sunk   The hopes of all men and of every nation;    Without their sap, how branchless were the trunk     Of life's strange tree, so fruitful on occasion:      But to return,--Get very drunk;
