This is what distinguishes it most vitally from democracy. In a despotism there is no organized opposition which can take over the power when the Administration in office has failed. All the eggs are in one basket. Everything is staked on one coterie of men. When the going is good, they move more quickly and efficiently than democracies, where the opposition has to be persuaded and conciliated. But when they lose, there are no reserves. There are no substitutes on the bench ready to go out on the field and carry the ball. That is why democracies with the habit of party government have outlived all other forms of government in the modern world. They have, as it were, at least two governments always at hand, and when one fails they have the other. They have diversified the risks of mortality, corruption, and stupidity which pervade all human affairs. They have remembered that the most beautifully impressive machine cannot run for very long unless there is available a complete supply of spare parts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am very excited to have another chance to race.

They, too, stress the leap of faith and make irrationality almost a principle, dismissing the serious questions of seeking modern men as intellectual smoke-screens or diversions to conceal deeper personal problems. All this masks a desperate intellectual insecurity, barely disguised by the surrounding hedge of taboos to preserve purity. The strident intolerance of much guilt-driven evangelism betrays the same insecurity. In these circles, much that is taught has to be unlearned in the wider school of life, and it is not surprising that universities are littered with dropouts from such groups. Their non-rational, subjective faith is cruelly punctured by varsity-level questions, and many manage to survive only by resorting to a severely schizophrenic faith which they hold to be true religiously but not intellectually, historically, or scientifically.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That does not make us, or our clients, very happy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37713]]></link><description><![CDATA[That does not make us, or our clients, very happy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24857]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Minds are like parachutes.
