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[A partial world will list to my lays, While Anna reigns, and sets a female name  Unrival'd in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54532]]></link><description><![CDATA[A partial world will list to my lays, While Anna reigns, and sets a female name  Unrival'd in the glorious lists of fame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I happen to agree with many of the liberal emphasis on compassion, justice and equality.

Love is sufficient of itself; it pleases by itself and on its own account. Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit. It is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love that I may love. Love is a great thing provided it recurs to its beginning, returns to its origin, and draws always from that Fountain which is perpetually in flood. Of all the feelings and affections of the soul, love is the only one by which the creature, though not on equal terms, is able to respond to the Creator and to repay what it has received from Him. For when God loves us He desires nothing but to be loved. He loves for no other reason, indeed, than that He may be loved, knowing that by their love itself those who love Him are blessed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all feel responsible to listen to the other three, ...
