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[Great families of yesterday we show, And lords whose parents were the Lord knows who. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2489]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great families of yesterday we show, And lords whose parents were the Lord knows who.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55634]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head; And this our life, exempt from public haunt, Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in every thing. -As You Like It.

When in faith we come to God for cleansing from the mess we have made of things, and when we ask for power to reverse causes we have set in motion, God sends in other causes by His Holy Spirit. It may be by direct intervention, or by a combination of circumstances which He controls. We can, therefore, be delivered from the wrath to come, because God will add other causes than those that we have initiated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real happiness is cheap enough, yet how dearly we pay for its counterfeit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18630]]></link><description><![CDATA[Real happiness is cheap enough, yet how dearly we pay for its counterfeit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prince Edward all in gold, as he great Jove had been, The Mountfords all in plumes, like estridges were seen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prince Edward all in gold, as he great Jove had been, The Mountfords all in plumes, like estridges were seen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I dare say I am compelled, unconsciously compelled, now to write volume after volume, as in past years I was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25372]]></link><description><![CDATA[I dare say I am compelled, unconsciously compelled, now to write volume after volume, as in past years I was compelled to go to sea, voyage after voyage.
