("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[Good taste is better than bad taste, but bad taste is better than no taste. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good taste is better than bad taste, but bad taste is better than no taste.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe God gives you the grace to do what you need to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64783]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe God gives you the grace to do what you need to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children.

Some of the pain has been self-inflicted, and some of the things we just couldn’t help. It’d be great to win here today. In a way, it’s just another race, but it’s a big deal to win Daytona and a big deal to win Indy. Really, it’s a big deal to win anywhere.
