("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[GM takes no position on the matter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28667]]></link><description><![CDATA[GM takes no position on the matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Curse on his virtues! they've undone his country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60759]]></link><description><![CDATA[Curse on his virtues! they've undone his country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death's the discharge of our debt of sorrow ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11479]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death's the discharge of our debt of sorrow]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resentment is weak and lowers your self-esteem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53939]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resentment is weak and lowers your self-esteem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64187]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[develop internal resources and transform them into internal investments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29696]]></link><description><![CDATA[develop internal resources and transform them into internal investments.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525  We should not draw too sharp a distinction between this "barren land" ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525  We should not draw too sharp a distinction between this "barren land" or "wilderness" of our pilgrimage, and the sweet home that God has prepared. We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I regard psychiatry as fifty percent bunk, thirty percent fraud, ten percent parrot talk, and the remaining ten percent just ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51985]]></link><description><![CDATA[I regard psychiatry as fifty percent bunk, thirty percent fraud, ten percent parrot talk, and the remaining ten percent just a fancy lingo for the common sense we have had for hundreds and perhaps thousands of years, if we ever had the guts to read i]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The jackdaw, stript of her stolen colours, provokes our laughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50347]]></link><description><![CDATA[The jackdaw, stript of her stolen colours, provokes our laughter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are ready for negotiation, but they should talk to us directly and not through the media. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35713]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are ready for negotiation, but they should talk to us directly and not through the media.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True nobility is exempt from fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44563]]></link><description><![CDATA[True nobility is exempt from fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Young men think old men are fools, but old men know young men are fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16195]]></link><description><![CDATA[Young men think old men are fools, but old men know young men are fools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is an important event because it's part of the ongoing initiative to clean up Marshalltown and present a better ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39817]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is an important event because it's part of the ongoing initiative to clean up Marshalltown and present a better image and appearance.
