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[Many people died from no water and no food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29703]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many people died from no water and no food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Communists at that moment were very strong in Italy, and the Italian Communist Party was the biggest Communist Party ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35803]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Communists at that moment were very strong in Italy, and the Italian Communist Party was the biggest Communist Party outside the Soviet Union.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is more clearly shown in the performance of fine actions than in the non-performance of base ones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue is more clearly shown in the performance of fine actions than in the non-performance of base ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man that seeks truth and loves it must be reckoned precious to any human society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2087]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man that seeks truth and loves it must be reckoned precious to any human society.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27483]]></link><description><![CDATA[War can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Runs are going to be at a premium.
