A Janus-faced entity who, looking inward, sees himself as a self-contained unique whole, looking outward as a dependent part. His self-assertive tendency is the dynamic manifestation of his unique wholeness, his autonomy and independence as a holon. Its equally universal antagonist, the integrative tendency, expresses his dependence on the larger whole to which he belongs: his 'part-ness.'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It would not be happening if the race was close or if [Democratic candidate Fernando] Ferrer was winning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35633]]></link><description><![CDATA[It would not be happening if the race was close or if [Democratic candidate Fernando] Ferrer was winning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are the sport of circumstances, when The circumstances seem the sport of men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8702]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are the sport of circumstances, when The circumstances seem the sport of men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes questions are more important than answers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10852]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes questions are more important than answers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's difficult to survive on this wicket with the new ball, but after it gets old it's easy to play ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39404]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's difficult to survive on this wicket with the new ball, but after it gets old it's easy to play your shots.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come not within the measure of my wrath. -The Two Gentleman of Verona.

Never swap horses while crossing a stream.Why not upset the apple cart? If you don't, the apples will rot anyway. There is never time to do it right, but there is always time to do it over. Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Fail to plan, plan to fail. -Carl W.
