  saying. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
A saying is an often repeated and familiar expression: a collection of philosophical sayings.
Maxim denotes particularly an expression of a general truth or a rule of conduct: “For a wise man, he seemed to me … to be governed too much by general maxims” (Edmund Burke).
Adage applies to a saying that has gained credit through long use: a gift that gave no credence to the adage, “Good things come in small packages.” Saw often refers to a familiar saying that has become trite through frequent repetition: old saws that gave little comfort to the losing team.

 Literary Stylistics Notes no. 23 by Ismail Talib: Pragmatics 2
As the maxims stand, there may be an overlap, as regards the length of what one says, between the maxims of quantity and manner; this overlap can be explained (partially if not entirely) by thinking of the maxim of quantity (artificial though this approach may be) in terms of units of information.
For example, an undetected lie breaks the maxim of quality, as one is telling a deliberate falsehood, but in a sense, it may also break the maxim of relation, as the relevant utterance to the listener is an utterance which is propositionally true, and not one that is false.
We can say that in some cases, it is the speaker who knows that a particular maxim has been broken; the speaker of an undetected lie, for instance, knows that she is not being cooperative with her listener(s).

The goal of the hearing aids was to maximize sounds for Maxim, but the aids did not mean that he could decipher the sounds he heard or understand what the sounds meant.
Maxim functioned well when at home with his parents or with his teachers, who were proficient in dealing with hearing-impaired children.
The Department, in addition to maintaining that Maxim’s condition qualified under the "continuing supervision" prong of the CFRA statute, contends that the medical testimony established that Maxim was "incapacitated" by his hearing impairment and lack of speech development, within the meaning of the CFRA regulations.

Maxim employees were told last Friday the hotel would be closed in 60 days, a move Revanche attorneys said was prompted by continuing losses.

 Temperature Sensor ICs Simplify Designs - Maxim/Dallas
To further define the analog world, I contrast it with the digital realm by saying that the voltage or current signals are usually converted to 1s and 0s so that computers can use the information.
Temperature is monitored in numerous locations to increase a server's reliability: at the motherboard (which is essentially the ambient temperature inside the chassis), inside the CPU die, and at other heat-generating components such as graphics accelerators and hard-disk drives.
There are two good reasons for monitoring the temperature of a hard-disk drive, which depends primarily on the speed of the spindle motor and the ambient temperature: The read errors in a drive increase at temperature extremes, and a hard disk's MTBF is improved significantly through temperature control.

Maxim reportedly held Golin to his three-year contract but, a Maxim spokesperson says, he is now free to leave.

 Kautilya's Maxims | The Statesman (#7)
We assume that 5/6:1-23 are an invention of the later compiler of Book 5, and that the Bharadvaja saying did not originally begin with the present text's "No," which we have accordingly removed.
It is possible that a preceding saying by a different ancient authority was lost in the transfer from Book 1; if so, the preceding authority was either "The Teachers" (as in ArS 8/1:5) or unattributed (as in ArS 8/3:1-7).
The material now preceding the Bharadvaja saying contains several references to other parts of the ArS, which we interpret as a late organizing gesture, and it involves much more elaborate secret agent subterfuges than the Kautilya passage above, whose use of agents is consistent with that in Maxim #6.

 Illusions of Metaphysics
As contrasted with this logical maxim of pure reason its fundamental principle is the assumption that the chain of premisses or conditions actually has a last unconditioned or absolute member and is, therefore, able to be completed and so, in a sense, completely given.
Kant's sharp distinction between a maxim saying how the next member in an ascending syllogistic chain is found and the assumption that the links in their totality are given, shows striking similarity to a highly important distinction in the modem theory of sets and the foundations of mathematical analysis.
Kant, he says, subjects the Ideas of God, freedom, and immortality ',to a different kind of examination, and finally admits them upon grounds which appear to the seminarists more or less suspicious, but which in the eyes of the laboratorists are infinitely stronger than the grounds upon which he has accepted space, time, and causality'..

 The "Holy Edict" of K'ang-Hi
As to the seventh Maxim, we find what may be considered as a suppression of religious liberty in China, and such it is in a certain way and with certain limitations.
His son, Emperor Yung Ching, amplifies his father's maxim by saying that it discriminates only against the corruptors of the doctrines of Confucius, Lao-Tze, and Buddha, and also condemns secret fraternities, such as exist all over China and become easily centers of sedition, as we have seen in the Boxer movement which has recently originated.
Chu-Tsze says: 'The sect of Fŭh regard not heaven, earth, or the four quarters, but attend only to the heart; the sect of Lao exclusively to the preservation of the animal spirits.' This definition of Chu-Tsze is correct and impartial and shows what Fŭh and Tao originally aimed at.

 Kantian Maxims and Lying
          I shall argue, however, that in fact the maxim that the liar acts on is the non-subjectized “lie when you are addressing a murderer”, which maxim we have already seen is not universalizable.  To do this, however, I first shall consider whether in fact we should not take all maxims to be subjectivized.
The action contained in the maxim is morally acceptable.  If a patient is known to have D, then prescribing A is the right thing to do.  However, the maxim in question is one that cannot be universalized when subjectivized.  For the subjectivized form of the maxim is:
           Therefore considerations on what is involved in helping people successfully act on their maxims are yet another way of seeing that Kantian maxims are primarily in objective form, though in special circumstances of course the objective description of circumstances may involve propositions about the agent’s beliefs.
