("To know all is to forgive all.") ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mediocre men often have the most acquired knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26765]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mediocre men often have the most acquired knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The starting line of the New York City marathon is kind of a giant time bomb behind you about to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54577]]></link><description><![CDATA[The starting line of the New York City marathon is kind of a giant time bomb behind you about to go off.

It was there that he received the first public witness of his Messianic role and found his first followers. The gospel was to be rooted in John's teaching of asceticism and regeneration. But we see from the start that the gospel of Jesus was to be quite different. To the baptism of water would be added the baptism of the Spirit, and the new message was to be addressed to all. The widening of the circle of hearers and converts, which had preoccupied John, was to expand still further with the gospel of Jesus. Of the hundreds of thousands of Jews, the Essenes only regarded as saved a few thousand elect. Jesus was soon to offer the Covenant of God to all men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not materialism that is the chief curse of the world, as pastors teach, but idealism.
