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[Could I love less, I should be happier now. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25621]]></link><description><![CDATA[Could I love less, I should be happier now.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A library is thought in cold storage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4584]]></link><description><![CDATA[A library is thought in cold storage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I read a book twice as fast as anybody else.

A Fox, seeing this, longed to possess the meat himself, and by a wily stratagem succeeded. How handsome is the Crow, he exclaimed, in the beauty of her shape and in the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds! This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voice, set up a loud caw and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vicissitudes of fortune, which spares neither man nor the proudest of his works, which buries empires and cities in a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vicissitudes of fortune, which spares neither man nor the proudest of his works, which buries empires and cities in a common grave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I voted to recall.
