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[Anything done for another is done for oneself. [Lat., Qui facit per alium facit per se.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anything done for another is done for oneself. [Lat., Qui facit per alium facit per se.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But few prize honour more than money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51068]]></link><description><![CDATA[But few prize honour more than money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who worse than a physician Would this report become?

For even they are sure that to live for nothing higher than oneself is to lose life; that life, to be called life, can be found only in serving something bigger than one's personal interests; something that crowds these out of mind and heart, till one forgets about them and lives wholly, and without exception, for that other, worthier thing... It is long since Aristotle told us that only barbarians have as their ideal the wish to live as they please, and to do what they like. And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Lafayette Parish wants to attract new businesses and have jobs, it needs to address the facility needs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39524]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Lafayette Parish wants to attract new businesses and have jobs, it needs to address the facility needs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know Ye not ... that the spirit of God dwelleth within you? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4197]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know Ye not ... that the spirit of God dwelleth within you?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How sweet the task to shield an absent friend! I ask but this of mine to--not defend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48744]]></link><description><![CDATA[How sweet the task to shield an absent friend! I ask but this of mine to--not defend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not a sedentary person.
