There is a perfect ant, a perfect bee, but man is perpetually unfinished. He is both an unfinished animal and an unfinished man. It is this incurable unfinishedness which sets man apart from other living things. For, in the attempt to finish himself, man becomes a creator. Moreover, the incurable unfinishedness keeps man perpetually immature, perpetually capable of learning and growing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a sense of self-doubt in India, within itself.

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[No one would talk much in society, if he knew how often he misunderstands others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9047]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one would talk much in society, if he knew how often he misunderstands others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the horse that draws the cart, but the oats. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65585]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the horse that draws the cart, but the oats.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We begin by being dupe, and end by being rogue. [Fr., On commence par etre dupe,  On finit par ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5526]]></link><description><![CDATA[We begin by being dupe, and end by being rogue. [Fr., On commence par etre dupe,  On finit par etre fripon.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54883]]></link><description><![CDATA[After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form.
