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[Without economy none can be rich, and with it few will be poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without economy none can be rich, and with it few will be poor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life without liberty is like a body without spirit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47348]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And that dismal cry rose slowly And sank slowly through the air,  Full of spirit's melancholy   And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17740]]></link><description><![CDATA[And that dismal cry rose slowly And sank slowly through the air,  Full of spirit's melancholy   And eternity's despair!    And they heart the words it said--     Pan is dead! great Pan is dead!      Pan, Pan is dead!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can get assent to almost any proposition so long as you are not going to do anything about it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1924]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can get assent to almost any proposition so long as you are not going to do anything about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Welfare to Work program has worked. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37159]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Welfare to Work program has worked.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every quarrel begins in nothing and ends in a struggle for supremacy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every quarrel begins in nothing and ends in a struggle for supremacy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My wife is the kind of girl who will not go anywhere without her mother, and her mother will go ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66492]]></link><description><![CDATA[My wife is the kind of girl who will not go anywhere without her mother, and her mother will go anywhere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9703]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On a good bargaine thinke twice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49681]]></link><description><![CDATA[On a good bargaine thinke twice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tearless grief bleeds inwardly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18321]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tearless grief bleeds inwardly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be human means to feel inferior. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14606]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be human means to feel inferior.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No friend have I.

It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And grace that won who saw to wish her stay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18084]]></link><description><![CDATA[And grace that won who saw to wish her stay.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hanging and wiving go by destiny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hanging and wiving go by destiny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gentleman is not in your books. -Much Ado about Nothing.

However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Great River Relay is a team event.
