("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[Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The voice is nothing but beaten air. [Lat., Vox nihil aliud quam ictus aer.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60923]]></link><description><![CDATA[The voice is nothing but beaten air. [Lat., Vox nihil aliud quam ictus aer.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith makes all things possible.... love makes all things easy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14951]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith makes all things possible.... love makes all things easy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30322]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you love me because I'm beautiful or am I beautiful because you love me? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do you love me because I'm beautiful or am I beautiful because you love me?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54794]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Necessity is the mother of invention, it is true, but its father is creativity, and knowledge is the midwife ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44034]]></link><description><![CDATA[Necessity is the mother of invention, it is true, but its father is creativity, and knowledge is the midwife]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs.The chicken is involved; the pig is committed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21723]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs.The chicken is involved; the pig is committed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is stronger than habit. [Lat., Nil consuetudine majus.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18527]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is stronger than habit. [Lat., Nil consuetudine majus.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's going to be a good game.
