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://maxioms.com/maxiom/62235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The happiness of the domestic fireside is the first boon of Heaven; and it is well it is so, since ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63267]]></link><description><![CDATA[The happiness of the domestic fireside is the first boon of Heaven; and it is well it is so, since it is that which is the lot of the mass of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He threw a temper tantrum with a spray can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38650]]></link><description><![CDATA[He threw a temper tantrum with a spray can.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If't be summer news, Smile to't before; if winterly, thou need'st  But keep that count'nance still. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44468]]></link><description><![CDATA[If't be summer news, Smile to't before; if winterly, thou need'st  But keep that count'nance still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rides in the whirlwind, and directs the storm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57892]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rides in the whirlwind, and directs the storm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is circumstances (difficulties) which show what men are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8709]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is circumstances (difficulties) which show what men are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why do grandparents and grandchildren get along so well?
