The more differentiated and specialized the parts, the more elaborate co-ordination is needed to create a well-balanced whole.

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[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   We must remember that our experience of union with God, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   We must remember that our experience of union with God, our feeling of His presence, is altogether accidental and secondary.

For God Himself is above all apprehensions and ideas and sensations, however spiritual, that can ever be experienced by the spirit of man in this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's an interesting character, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39842]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's an interesting character,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Non-violence is the policy of the vegetable kingdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60685]]></link><description><![CDATA[Non-violence is the policy of the vegetable kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience is the teacher of fools. [Lat., Stultorum eventus magister est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience is the teacher of fools. [Lat., Stultorum eventus magister est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An undertaking beset with danger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50186]]></link><description><![CDATA[An undertaking beset with danger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be taken seriously you need the ability to make fun of yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53379]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be taken seriously you need the ability to make fun of yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's going to take awhile, I know.
