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[Tell you what, if they keep doing that all year, I'll be super happy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell you what, if they keep doing that all year, I'll be super happy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me, painting is a way to forget life.

Whose is it? The clue lies in Acts 12, where St. Peter, strangely freed from Herod's prison, knows at whose house they will be gathered for prayer. He knocks, startles the gate-girl Rhoda. It was "the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark" -- the young man who was to write the earliest of the gospels. The first meeting place of any Christian congregation was the home of a woman in Jerusalem. Something of the sort happens everywhere. The church in Caesarea centres upon Philip the Evangelist. "Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy." ... Joppa church depends on Tabitha, "a woman full of good works and almsdeeds which she did". Follow St. Paul about the Mediterranean. He crosses to Europe because he dreams of a man from Macedonia who cries, "Come over and help us". But when he lands at Philippi it is not a man, but a woman. "Lydia was baptized and her household" -- his first convert in Europe, a woman. Everywhere women are the most notable of the converts, often the only ones who believe. In Thessalonica there are "of the chief women not a few"; Beroea, "Greek women of honourable estate"; Athens, only two names, one of them, Damaris, a woman. At Corinth Priscilla and Aquila come into the story, the pair always mentioned together, and four times out of the six with the wife's name first, a thing undreamed of in the first century. Why? Because she counted for more in church affairs -- hostess of the church in her houses in Corinth, Ephesus and Rome, chief instructress of Apollos the missionary, intimate of the greatest missionary of all, St. Paul. Six times in the Epistles greetings are sent to a house-church, and in five cases the church is linked with a woman's name.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis light translateth night; 'tis inspiration Expounds experience; 'tis the west explains  The east; 'tis time unfolds Eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9139]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis light translateth night; 'tis inspiration Expounds experience; 'tis the west explains  The east; 'tis time unfolds Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My motto is: Contented with little, yet wishing for more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10008]]></link><description><![CDATA[My motto is: Contented with little, yet wishing for more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't describe it.
