But now I may say I heard, but I understood not; for they were far above, out of my reach; for their talk was about a new birth -- the work of God on their hearts. And methought they spake as if Joy did make them speak; they spake with such pleasantness of scripture language and with such appearance of grace in all they said, that they were to me as if they had found a new world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idea of endless and limitless progress and development seems unsatisfying both philosophically and religiously; a process only finds its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6875]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idea of endless and limitless progress and development seems unsatisfying both philosophically and religiously; a process only finds its meaning in its goal.

The more differentiated and specialized the parts, the more elaborate co-ordination is needed to create a well-balanced whole. The ultimate criterion of the value of a functional whole is the degree of its internal harmony or integratedness, whether the "functional whole" is a biological species or a civilization or an individual. A whole is defined by the pattern of relations between its parts, not by the sum of its parts; and a civilization is not defined by the sum of its science, technology, art and social organization, but by the total pattern which they form, and the degree of harmonious integration in that pattern.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17128]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the past.
