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[According to her cloth she cut her coat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51966]]></link><description><![CDATA[According to her cloth she cut her coat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can allay the rage of biting envy. [Lat., Rabiem livoris acerbi  Nulla potest placare quies.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14007]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can allay the rage of biting envy. [Lat., Rabiem livoris acerbi  Nulla potest placare quies.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For man to turn his back on God is to turn towards death; it involves ultimately the renunciation of every ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7565]]></link><description><![CDATA[For man to turn his back on God is to turn towards death; it involves ultimately the renunciation of every aspect of life. To deny God, man must ultimately deny that there is any law or reality. The full implications of this were seen in the [19th] century by two profound thinkers, one a Christian and the other a non-Christian.   [Friedrich W.] Nietzsche recognized fully that every atheist is an unwilling believer to the extent that he has any element of justice or order in his life, to the very extent that he is even alive and enjoys life. In his earlier writings, Nietzsche first attempted the creation of another set of standards and values, affirming life for a time, until he concluded that he could not affirm life itself nor give it any meaning, any value, apart from God. Thus Nietzsche's ultimate counsel was suicide; only then, [he asserted] can we truly deny God: and in his own life, this brilliant thinker -- one of the clearest in his description of modern Christianity and the contemporary issue -- did in effect commit a kind of psychic suicide.   The same concept was powerfully developed by [Fyodor M.] Dostoyevski, particularly in The Possessed, or, more literally, the Demon-Possessed. Kirilov, a thoroughly Nietzschean character, is very much concerned with denying God, asserting that he himself is God and that man does not need God. But at every point, Kirilov finds that no standard or structure in reality can be affirmed without ultimately asserting God, that no value can be asserted without being ultimately de rived from the Triune God. As a result, Kirilov committed suicide as the only apparently practical way of denying God and affirming himself -- for to be alive was to affirm this ontological deity in some fashion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man was predestined to have free will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man was predestined to have free will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you hold it up, you can see right through it.
