The more successfully such systems respond to diversity, the more "chaos" there will be, by definition, according to the standards of any specific set of values- other than diversity or freedom as values.

Yet the fellowship of the broken bread and the poured-out wine can mean no less than that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18169]]></link><description><![CDATA[To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["And a bird-cage, sir," said Sam.
