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 life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19730]]></link><description><![CDATA[A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice does not descend from its pinnacle. [It., Cima di giudizio non s'avvalla.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23654]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice does not descend from its pinnacle. [It., Cima di giudizio non s'avvalla.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is one dimension of culture, a transcendent element of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion is one dimension of culture, a transcendent element of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Programming today is a race between software engineers stirring to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57104]]></link><description><![CDATA[Programming today is a race between software engineers stirring to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Its just one big shock, knowing Ill never see him again, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Its just one big shock, knowing Ill never see him again,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No legacy is so rich as honesty. -All 's Well that Ends Well.

But if we should feel entitled to throw out one part of the witness of Ephesians to Christ, why not the rest of it also: for instance, Christ's Lordship over the church and in the heart? It is unfair and scarcely honest to consider the Bible or parts of it as a cake from which we can pick out merely the raisins we happen to like. Speaking the truth in love and witnessing to the biblical Christ may imply the necessity to speak also of some very strange things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this fool's paradise, he drank delight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45463]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this fool's paradise, he drank delight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The young gentleman, according to Fates and Destinies and such odd sayings, the Sisters Three and such branches of learning, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55571]]></link><description><![CDATA[The young gentleman, according to Fates and Destinies and such odd sayings, the Sisters Three and such branches of learning, is indeed deceased; or, as you would say in plain terms, gone to heaven. -The Merchant of Venice.
