Imagine an industry that consistently fails to do what it sets out to do. a factory where this year's product is invariably sleazier than last year's but, nevertheless, better than next year's. Imagine a corporation whose executives are always spending vast sums of money on studies designed to discover just what it is they are supposed to do and then vaster sums for further studies on just how to do it. Imagine a plant devoted to the manufacture of factory seconds to be sold at a loss. Imagine a producer of vacuum cleaners that rarely work hiring whole platoons of engineers who will, in time, report that it is, in fact, true that the vacuum cleaners rarely really work, and who will, for a larger fee, be glad to find out why, if that's possible. If you discover some such outfit, don't invest in it. Unfortunately, we are all required to invest in public education.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity: a thing that begins at home, and usually stays there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity: a thing that begins at home, and usually stays there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[London is a roost for every bird. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25454]]></link><description><![CDATA[London is a roost for every bird.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He hath eaten me out of house and home; he hath put all of my substance into that fat belly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13262]]></link><description><![CDATA[He hath eaten me out of house and home; he hath put all of my substance into that fat belly of his.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When eating an elephant take one bite at a time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32260]]></link><description><![CDATA[When eating an elephant take one bite at a time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is the fire-proofer of emotions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is the fire-proofer of emotions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25828]]></link><description><![CDATA[To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Way down upon de Swanee Ribber, Far, far away,  Dere's whar ma heart am turning ebber,   Dere's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Way down upon de Swanee Ribber, Far, far away,  Dere's whar ma heart am turning ebber,   Dere's whar de old folks stay.    All up and down de whole creation,     Sadly I roam,      Still longing for de old plantation,       And for de old folks at home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am ready to meet my Maker.
