It is no use passing judgments and making scapegoats of this or that individual statesman or group of statesmen. Idealists make a great mistake in not facing the real facts sincerely and resolutely. They believe in the power of the spirit, in the goodness which is at the heart of things, in the triumph which is in store for the great moral ideals of the race. But this great faith only too often leads to an optimism which is sadly and fatally at variance with actual results. It is the realist and not the idealist who is generally justified by events. We forget that the human spirit, the spirit of goodness and truth in the world, is still only an infant crying in the night, and that the struggle with darkness is as yet mostly an unequal struggle. . . . Paris proved this terrible truth once more. It was not Wilson who failed there, but humanity itself. It was not the statesmen that failed, so much as the spirit of the peoples behind them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the national mental illness of the United States is megalomania, that of Canada is paranoid schizophrenia. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41518]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the national mental illness of the United States is megalomania, that of Canada is paranoid schizophrenia.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12268]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[URLs are the 800 numbers of the 1990's. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9526]]></link><description><![CDATA[URLs are the 800 numbers of the 1990's.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62358]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When suffering knocks at your door and you say there is no seat for him, he tells you not to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31491]]></link><description><![CDATA[When suffering knocks at your door and you say there is no seat for him, he tells you not to worry because he has brought his own stool.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mediocrity can talk; but it is for genius to observe ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26755]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mediocrity can talk; but it is for genius to observe]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4879]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The vine bears three kinds of grapes: the first of pleasure, the second of intoxication, the third of disgust ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61662]]></link><description><![CDATA[The vine bears three kinds of grapes: the first of pleasure, the second of intoxication, the third of disgust]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather attempt something great and fail than attempt to donothing and succeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21625]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather attempt something great and fail than attempt to donothing and succeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21625</guid></item></channel></rss>
