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[If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65042]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doing easily what others find it difficult is talent; doing what is impossible for talent is genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17298]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doing easily what others find it difficult is talent; doing what is impossible for talent is genius.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gineral C. is a dreffle smart man: He's been on all sides that give places or pelf;  But consistency ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gineral C. is a dreffle smart man: He's been on all sides that give places or pelf;  But consistency still wuz a part of his plan;   He's been true to one party, and that is, himself;--    So John P.     Robinson, he      Sez he shall vote for Gineral C.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not be too moral.

This sentiment sometimes has even the hardiness to insinuate and maintain itself under the guise of extraordinary concern for practical religion; but it soon discovers the falsehood of this pretension, and betrays its real nature. The expedient, indeed, of attaining to superiority in practice by not wasting any of the attention on the internal principles from which alone practice can flow, is about as reasonable, and will answer about as well, as the economy of an architect who should account it mere prodigality to expend any of his materials in laying foundation, from an idea that they might be more usefully applied to the raising of the superstructure. We know what would be the fate of such an edifice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew about their protest and had taken precautionary steps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41367]]></link><description><![CDATA[We knew about their protest and had taken precautionary steps.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The time is past when Christians in America can take a long spoon and hand the gospel to the black ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48117]]></link><description><![CDATA[The time is past when Christians in America can take a long spoon and hand the gospel to the black man out the back door.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's getting better every week.
