It is what the customer gets out and is willing to pay for. A product is not quality because it is hard to make and costs a lot of money, as manufacturers typically believe. This is incompetence. Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841  The Gospel used to be presented as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7501]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841  The Gospel used to be presented as an appeal to believe in the Saviour who "did it all for me long ago", and then retired to a remote heaven where He receives the homage of believers till He comes again to inaugurate the Millennium. The mind of our generation, having little comprehension or taste for such a message, is usually content to try to discover "the Jesus of history", conceived as a human example and teacher of a distant past. Meanwhile, there exists always alongside all forms of religious belief the great tradition of mystical experience. The mystic knows that, whatever be the truth about an historic act or person, there is a Spirit dwelling in man. In our time, even natural science abates its arrogant denials and admits the possibility of such immanence... The weak point of mysticism, as seen at least by a matter-of-fact person, is that it is apt to be so nebulous ethically. What the Immanent is, those who claim most traffic with It can often least tell us. Is It a power making for righteousness, or is It a higher synthesis of good and evil? Or is It not a moral -- that is to say, not a personal Being at all?... The raising of these questions is not intended to throw any doubt upon the validity of mystical experience as such; but we have a right to ask what content is given in the experience. Paul was a mystic, but all his mystical experience had a personal object. It was Jesus Christ, a real, living person --historic, yet not of the past alone; divine, yet not alien from humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith moves mountains, but you have to keep pushing while you are praying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith moves mountains, but you have to keep pushing while you are praying.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The aster greets us as we pass With her faint smile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3387]]></link><description><![CDATA[The aster greets us as we pass With her faint smile.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seven cities warr'd for Homer being dead, Who living had no roofe to shroud his head. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8768]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seven cities warr'd for Homer being dead, Who living had no roofe to shroud his head.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is a way of processing our lives.
