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.

Nothing else constitutes quality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mother was a good recreational cook, but what she basically believed about cooking was that if you worked hard ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10151]]></link><description><![CDATA[My mother was a good recreational cook, but what she basically believed about cooking was that if you worked hard and prospered, someone else would do it for you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever. -Isak Dinesen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The person who runs away exposes himself to that very danger more than a person who sits quietly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11074]]></link><description><![CDATA[The person who runs away exposes himself to that very danger more than a person who sits quietly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pretension almost always overdoes the original, and hence exposes itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48179]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pretension almost always overdoes the original, and hence exposes itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have much larger student bodies to select team members from, and some of them have as many as eight ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37995]]></link><description><![CDATA[They have much larger student bodies to select team members from, and some of them have as many as eight coaches for different subjects.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Naivete in grownups is often charming; but when coupled with vanity it is indistinguishable from stupidity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Naivete in grownups is often charming; but when coupled with vanity it is indistinguishable from stupidity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The coward threatens when he is safe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10511]]></link><description><![CDATA[The coward threatens when he is safe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There were some fantastic matches between the two sides in the late eighties and into the early nineties.

For infinite wisdom does not need telling what is best, and infinite goodness needs no urging to do it. But neither does God need any of those things that are done by finite agents, whether living or inanimate. He could, if He chose, repair our bodies miraculously without food; or give us food without the aid of farmers, bakers, and butchers, or knowledge without the aid of learned men; or convert the heathen without missionaries. Instead, He allows soils and weather and animals and the muscles, minds, and wills of men to cooperate in the execution of His will... It is not really stranger, nor less strange, that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so. They have not advised or changed God' s mind -- that is, His overall purpose. But that purpose will be realized in different ways according to the actions, including the prayers, of His creatures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With winsome cruelty she refuses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50397]]></link><description><![CDATA[With winsome cruelty she refuses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the things that hamper Linux's climb to world domination is the shortage of bad Computer Role Playing Games, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25149]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the things that hamper Linux's climb to world domination is the shortage of bad Computer Role Playing Games, or CRaPGs.
