For this reason, the kind of peace that makes progress possible is best assured by the mutual checks created by a balance of forces- alike in the sphere of internal politics and of international relations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forward and frolic glee was there, The will to do, the soul to dare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27413]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forward and frolic glee was there, The will to do, the soul to dare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: 'What!
