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://maxioms.com/maxiom/56817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm a high school student and this is from a poem I wrote called Sometimes He Wonders.

Good by nature, he has learned his survival skills, which will lead him into the real world, and will someday make him a successful individual. Wishing the pressure did not exist, it is a natural instinct to adapt and not to recluse. He rather is a mindless drone than a lonely Hermit, after all. He has no control over his environment, it is the exact opposite. Molded and shaped by his surroundings, he seeks about for himself and his purpose, while this mold slowly deteriorates organic matter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The inevitable consequence of poverty is dependence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11915]]></link><description><![CDATA[The inevitable consequence of poverty is dependence]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On Sundays, at the matin-chime, The Alpine peasants, two and three,  Climb up here to pray;   Burghers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54582]]></link><description><![CDATA[On Sundays, at the matin-chime, The Alpine peasants, two and three,  Climb up here to pray;   Burghers and dames, at summer's prime,    Ride out to church from Chamberry,     Dight with mantles gay,      But else it is a lonely time       Round the Church of Brou.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dead of midnight is the noon of thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59245]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dead of midnight is the noon of thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like the bee, we should make our industry our amusement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22210]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like the bee, we should make our industry our amusement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's common for fissures to occur, in the last days of any administration.
