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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you get all the facts, your judgment can be right; if you don't get all the facts, it can't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14897]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you get all the facts, your judgment can be right; if you don't get all the facts, it can't be right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is forgiven is usually well remembered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53272]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is forgiven is usually well remembered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The progress of freedom depends more upon the maintenance of peace, the spread of commerce, and the diffusion of education, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46338]]></link><description><![CDATA[The progress of freedom depends more upon the maintenance of peace, the spread of commerce, and the diffusion of education, than upon the labors of cabinets and foreign offices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man's poison Ivy is another man's spinach ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35522]]></link><description><![CDATA[One man's poison Ivy is another man's spinach]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're still early in the game.
