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[The idea that it is necessary to go to a university in order to become a successful writer . . ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60251]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idea that it is necessary to go to a university in order to become a successful writer . . . is one of those fantasies that surround authorship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But death is sure to kill all he can get And all is fish with him that comes to net. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16051]]></link><description><![CDATA[But death is sure to kill all he can get And all is fish with him that comes to net.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men forget but never forgive.

You see, gentlemen, how I would answer that question. You are deceived in thinking that the morality of your father was based on Christianity. On the contrary, Christianity presupposed it. That morality stands exactly where it did; its basis has not been withdrawn, for, in a sense, it never had a basis. The ultimate ethical injunctions have always been premises, never conclusions. Kant was perfectly right on that point at least, the imperative is categorical. Unless the ethical is assumed from the outset, no argument will bring you to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14648]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Petroc, Abbot of Padstow, 6th century  However the gospel may be defended, it cannot be defended by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6223]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Petroc, Abbot of Padstow, 6th century  However the gospel may be defended, it cannot be defended by concessions which deprive it of its essence or which detract from our Saviour's title to be called The Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fruit derived from labor is the sweetest of all pleasures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23944]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fruit derived from labor is the sweetest of all pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In hell there is no retention. [Sp., Quien ha infierene nula es retencio.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19128]]></link><description><![CDATA[In hell there is no retention. [Sp., Quien ha infierene nula es retencio.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44508]]></link><description><![CDATA[Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humor comes from self-confidence.
