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[My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17116]]></link><description><![CDATA[My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves, and sharpens our skill.

There is no other means to safeguard a propitious development of human affairs than to make the masses of inferior people adopt the ideas of the elite. This has to be achieved by convincing them. It cannot be accomplished by a despotic regime that instead of enlightening the masses beats them into submission. In the long run the ideas of the majority, however detrimental they may be, will carry on. The future of mankind depends on the ability of the elite to influence public opinion in the right direction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Debt is the fatal disease of republics, the first thing and the mightiest to undermine governments and corrupt the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11496]]></link><description><![CDATA[Debt is the fatal disease of republics, the first thing and the mightiest to undermine governments and corrupt the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28043]]></link><description><![CDATA[It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we have no respect for our viewers, then how can we have any respect for ourselves and what we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31752]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we have no respect for our viewers, then how can we have any respect for ourselves and what we do?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men still had faults, and men will have them still; He that hath none, and lives as angels do,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men still had faults, and men will have them still; He that hath none, and lives as angels do,  Must be an angel.   - Wentworth Dillon, Earl of Roscomon,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At land indeed Thou dost o'ercount me of my father's house:  But since the cuckoo builds not for himself, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10812]]></link><description><![CDATA[At land indeed Thou dost o'ercount me of my father's house:  But since the cuckoo builds not for himself,   Remain in't as thou mayst.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1879]]></link><description><![CDATA[As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth.
