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[When the swallows homeward fly, When the roses scattered lie,  When from neither hill or dale,   Chants ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4234]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the swallows homeward fly, When the roses scattered lie,  When from neither hill or dale,   Chants the silvery nightingale:    In these works my bleeding heart     Would to thee its brief impart;      When I thus thy image lose       Can I, ah! can I, e'er know repose?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is like living in a wilderness of mirrors.

Sometimes migrating groups of potato-washers meet non-washers, and the two groups watch each other's strange behavior with apparent bewilderment. But unlike the inhabitants of Lilliput, who fought holy crusades over the question at which end to break the egg, the potato-washing monkeys do not go to war with the non-washers, because the poor creatures have no language which would enable them to declare washing a diving commandment and eating unwashed potatoes a deadly heresy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've always written in a free, unencumbered way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37992]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've always written in a free, unencumbered way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy thou that learnest from another's griefs, not to subject thyself to the same. [Lat., Felix quicumque dolore alterius disces ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14405]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy thou that learnest from another's griefs, not to subject thyself to the same. [Lat., Felix quicumque dolore alterius disces posse cavere tuo.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People do not lack strength; they lack will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61626]]></link><description><![CDATA[People do not lack strength; they lack will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love to play for audiences that are simply made of people rather than so-called special people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38796]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love to play for audiences that are simply made of people rather than so-called special people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom, any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61766]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom, any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the world's a stage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51232]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the world's a stage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the industry is indeed vulnerable because what they are doing is not right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42425]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the industry is indeed vulnerable because what they are doing is not right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am an idealist.
