But it is perhaps equally important to realize that weakness, too, corrupts. Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. Hatred, malice, rudeness, intolerance, and suspicion are the faults of weakness. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from their sense of inadequacy and impotence. We cannot win the weak by sharing our wealth with them.

We are afraid of the jeer about "pie in the sky", and of being told that we are trying to "escape" from the duty of making a happy world here and now, into dreams of a better world elsewhere. But either there is "pie in the sky" or there is not. If there is not, then Christianity is false, for this doctrine is woven into its whole fabric. If there is, then this doctrine, like any other, must be faced, whether it is useful at political meetings or no.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too great haste leads us to error. [Fr., Le trop de promptitude a l'erreur nous expose.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too great haste leads us to error. [Fr., Le trop de promptitude a l'erreur nous expose.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But if it makes the Americans happy and willing to go on to discuss the real issues of the peace ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36380]]></link><description><![CDATA[But if it makes the Americans happy and willing to go on to discuss the real issues of the peace process, we happily grant them that achievement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On his weary couch Fat Luxury, sick of the night's debauch,  Lay groaning, fretful at the obtrusive beam  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26085]]></link><description><![CDATA[On his weary couch Fat Luxury, sick of the night's debauch,  Lay groaning, fretful at the obtrusive beam   That through his lattice peeped derisively.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex prejudice is so ingrained in our society that many who practice it are simply unaware that they are hurting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48119]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sex prejudice is so ingrained in our society that many who practice it are simply unaware that they are hurting .
