It survived last winter without a single weather-related breakdown. It performed in today's storm without incident. The M-7 travels more than 700,000 miles without a breakdown, although the contract specified only 100,000 miles between breakdowns. The M-7 put Metro-North on track for a record on-time performance for 2005 of more than 97 percent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from thevalley. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from thevalley.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look before you ere you leap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51959]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look before you ere you leap.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The darkest hour of a man's life is when he sits down to plan how toget money without earning it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22047]]></link><description><![CDATA[The darkest hour of a man's life is when he sits down to plan how toget money without earning it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11374]]></link><description><![CDATA[When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14753]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of governing consists in not letting men grow old in their jobs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18063]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of governing consists in not letting men grow old in their jobs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue treads paths that end not in the grave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue treads paths that end not in the grave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We still have a refining issue.

His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The family is the school of duties... founded on love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15158]]></link><description><![CDATA[The family is the school of duties... founded on love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There never was a chip, it is said, that Bill Gates couldn't slow down with a new batch of features. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9364]]></link><description><![CDATA[There never was a chip, it is said, that Bill Gates couldn't slow down with a new batch of features.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the braine sowes not corne, it plants thistles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49512]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the braine sowes not corne, it plants thistles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The term up has no meaning apart from the word down.

The term fast has no meaning apart from the term slow. In addition such terms have no meaning even when used together, except when confined to a very particular situation... most of our language about the organization and objective's of government is made up of such polar terms. Justice and injustice are typical. A reformer who wants to abolish injustice and create a world in which nothing but justice prevails is like a man who wants to make everything up. Such a man might feel that if he took the lowest in the world and carried it up to the highest point and kept on doing this, everything would eventually become up. This would certainly move a great many objects and create an enormous amount of activity. It might or might not be useful, according to the standards which we apply. However it would never result in the abolishment of down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Productivity is never an accident.
