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://maxioms.com/maxiom/47443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One flag, one land, one heart, one hand, One Nation evermore!   - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45785]]></link><description><![CDATA[One flag, one land, one heart, one hand, One Nation evermore!   - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like fragile ice anger passes away in time. [Lat., Ut fragilis glacies interit ira mora.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like fragile ice anger passes away in time. [Lat., Ut fragilis glacies interit ira mora.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap  Of murky buildings: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57182]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap  Of murky buildings: climb with me the steep,--   Nature's observatory--whence the dell,    In flowery slopes, its river's crystal swell,     May seem a span; let me thy vigils keep      'Mongst boughs pavilion'd, where the deer's swift leap       Startles the wild bee from the foxglove bell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64188]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the acquisition of skills in particular, irrespective of their utility, that is potent in making life meaningful.
