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[And like a passing thought, she fled In light away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60874]]></link><description><![CDATA[And like a passing thought, she fled In light away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14141]]></link><description><![CDATA[An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't have to hold a position in order to be a leader. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24419]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't have to hold a position in order to be a leader.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hardest part about being friends, is loving you so much ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16736]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hardest part about being friends, is loving you so much]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be free minded and cheerfully disposed at hours of meat and sleep and of exercise is one of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21536]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be free minded and cheerfully disposed at hours of meat and sleep and of exercise is one of the best precepts of long lasting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6009]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free,--honorable alike in what we give and what we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56594]]></link><description><![CDATA[In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free,--honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humans can learn to like anything, that's why we are such a successful species.
