But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soldier does not wish to appear a coward, disloyal, or un-American.

("To know all is to forgive all.") ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://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://maxioms.com/maxiom/8418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12585]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I distrust the incommunicable; it is the source of all violence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23621]]></link><description><![CDATA[I distrust the incommunicable; it is the source of all violence]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65985]]></link><description><![CDATA[You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52793]]></link><description><![CDATA[Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To win without risk is to triumph without glory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54296]]></link><description><![CDATA[To win without risk is to triumph without glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The end of the season is coming up, we're starting to see it.
