Men in my platoon who had served time in Vietnam told me many stories—but none more chilling than the one from two helicopter pilots. They told me how they would shoot the friendlies on their way back from reconnaissance missions just so they could empty their ammunition before returning to base. The friendlies were South Vietnamese women and children, helpless victims in a war they did not understand. But to the American pilots, they were simply dots on the ground.Whitehead is a political conservative.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we have to do . . . is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12593]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we have to do . . . is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's so funny that people specify that year because in a way it was the biggest battle for me health ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30474]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's so funny that people specify that year because in a way it was the biggest battle for me health wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535   We sometimes come to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8370]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535   We sometimes come to God, not because we love Him best, but because we love our possessions best; we ask Christ to "save Western civilization", without asking ourselves whether it is entirely a civilization that Christ could want to save. We pray, too often, not to do God's will, but to enlist God's assistance in maintaining our "continually increasing consumption".

It wears us out by multiplying distractions and beats us down destroying our solitude, where otherwise we might drink and renew our strength, before going out to face the world again. "The thoughtful soul to solitude retires," said the poet of other and quieter times; but where is the solitude to which we can retire today? "Commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still," is a wise and healing counsel; but how can it be followed in this day of the newspaper, the telephone, the radio and television? These modern playthings, like pet tiger cubs, have grown so large and dangerous that they threaten to devour us all. What was intended to be a blessing has become a positive curse. No spot is now safe from the world's intrusion. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today. What the world will do about it is their problem. Apparently the masses want it the way it is, and the majority of Christians are so completely conformed to this present age that they, too, want things the way they are. They may be annoyed a bit by the clamor and by the goldfish-bowl existence they live, but apparently they are not annoyed enough to do anything about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone is a bore to someone.

But we do not ordinarily apply it to the best purposes. It is not so ordinary for men to resolve to be good as to resolve to be rich and great, not so common for men to resolve against sin as to resolve against poverty and suffering.
