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[In general it's a healthy profit taking move for the EM market, and for the domestic markets in Latin America ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34542]]></link><description><![CDATA[In general it's a healthy profit taking move for the EM market, and for the domestic markets in Latin America as the stock and currency markets are coming off.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Detroit is doing a great job pulling all the elements together.

We have been trying to apply machine-age methods to our relations with God. We read our chapter, have our short devotions, and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep inward bankruptcy by attending another gospel meeting or listening to another thrilling story told by a religious adventurer lately returned from afar. The tragic results of this spirit are all about us. Shallow lives, hollow religious philosophies, the preponderance of the element of fun in gospel meetings, the glorification of men, trust in religious externalities, quasi-religious fellowships, salesmanship methods, the mistaking of dynamic personality for the power of the Spirit; these and such as these are the symptoms of an evil disease, a deep and serious malady of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding.

The Huntsman wished to have the fish, and their owner experienced an equal longing for the contents of the game-bag. They quickly agreed to exchange the produce of their day's sport. Each was so well pleased with his bargain that they made for some time the same exchange day after day. Finally a neighbor said to them, If you go on in this way, you will soon destroy by frequent use the pleasure of your exchange, and each will again wish to retain the fruits of his own sport. Abstain and enjoy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And still be doing, never done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62081]]></link><description><![CDATA[And still be doing, never done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is not a matter of God, church, holy cause, etc. These are but accessories.
