Life has no otherdiscipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept lifeunquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run awayfrom, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in theend.

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[Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66544]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mine is better than ours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48435]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mine is better than ours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A justice with grave justices shall sit; He praise their wisdom, they admire his wit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23499]]></link><description><![CDATA[A justice with grave justices shall sit; He praise their wisdom, they admire his wit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mice which helplessly find themselves between the cats' teeth acquire no merit from their enforced sacrifice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54613]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mice which helplessly find themselves between the cats' teeth acquire no merit from their enforced sacrifice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As Ms. Fitch will work through June 30, she will complete the fiscal year and her successor will be drawn ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37193]]></link><description><![CDATA[As Ms. Fitch will work through June 30, she will complete the fiscal year and her successor will be drawn from the new pool now forming.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the end of about a week, I called back and said, "I need something to compare this to.
