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[Many people are looking for an ear that will listen.

They do not find it among Christians, because these Christians are talking where they should be listening. But he who can no longer listen to his brother will soon be no longer listening to God, either; he will be doing nothing but prattle in the presence of God, too. This is the beginning of the death of the spiritual life, and in the end there will be nothing left but spiritual chatter and clerical condescension arrayed in pious words ... never really speaking to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An harmless flaming meteor shone for hair, And fell adown his shoulders with losse care. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18581]]></link><description><![CDATA[An harmless flaming meteor shone for hair, And fell adown his shoulders with losse care.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conceit is incompatible with understanding ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conceit is incompatible with understanding]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can see the improvement.

In these days, when men are so gladly hearing afresh that "in Him there is no darkness at all"; that God, therefore could not have created any man if He knew that he must live in torture to all eternity; and that His hatred to evil cannot be expressed by injustice, itself the one essence of evil, -- for certainly it would be nothing less than injustice to punish infinitely what was finitely committed, no sinner being capable of understanding the abstract enormity of what he does, -- in these days has a arisen another falsehood, less, yet very perilous: thousands of half-thinkers imagine that, since it is declared with such authority that hell is not everlasting, there is then no hell at all. To such folly, I, for one, have never given enticement or shelter. I see no hope for many, no way for the divine love to reach them, save through a very ghastly hell. Men have got to repent; there is no other escape for them, and no escape from that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the last few months, we've given several promotions within the department... and I think that's brought more stability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29277]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the last few months, we've given several promotions within the department... and I think that's brought more stability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bird that hath been limed in a bush With trembling wing misdoubteth every bush. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51329]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bird that hath been limed in a bush With trembling wing misdoubteth every bush.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mastery of the turn is the story of how aviation became practical as a means of transportation.
