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[Have always been at daggers-drawing, And one another clapper-clawing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12555]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have always been at daggers-drawing, And one another clapper-clawing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human beings are not condemned, because of their biological constitution, to annihilate each other or to be at the mercy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Human beings are not condemned, because of their biological constitution, to annihilate each other or to be at the mercy of a cruel, self-inflicted fate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People living deeply have no fear of death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46045]]></link><description><![CDATA[People living deeply have no fear of death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Still, year after year strong mercury rules fail in Washington under pressure from corporate interests.

Love is sufficient of itself; it pleases by itself and on its own account. Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit. It is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love that I may love. Love is a great thing provided it recurs to its beginning, returns to its origin, and draws always from that Fountain which is perpetually in flood. Of all the feelings and affections of the soul, love is the only one by which the creature, though not on equal terms, is able to respond to the Creator and to repay what it has received from Him. For when God loves us He desires nothing but to be loved. He loves for no other reason, indeed, than that He may be loved, knowing that by their love itself those who love Him are blessed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Impossible only means that you haven't found the solution yet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Impossible only means that you haven't found the solution yet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In every pang that rends the heart The Man of Sorrows had a part. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6124]]></link><description><![CDATA[In every pang that rends the heart The Man of Sorrows had a part.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis skill not strength that governs a ship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis skill not strength that governs a ship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A divorce is like an amputation: you survive it, but there's less of you ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12603]]></link><description><![CDATA[A divorce is like an amputation: you survive it, but there's less of you]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do it soon enough, if that we do be well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50045]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do it soon enough, if that we do be well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19106]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One stops being a child when one realizes that telling one's trouble does not make it better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26586]]></link><description><![CDATA[One stops being a child when one realizes that telling one's trouble does not make it better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you wonder for what reason, Theodorus, notwithstanding your frequent requests and importunities, I have never presented you with my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do you wonder for what reason, Theodorus, notwithstanding your frequent requests and importunities, I have never presented you with my works?
