When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened the faggot, took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A quotation, like a pun, should come unsought, and then be welcomed only for some propriety of felicity justifying the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4670]]></link><description><![CDATA[A quotation, like a pun, should come unsought, and then be welcomed only for some propriety of felicity justifying the intrusion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They've always wanted to (unionize) and now they legally can.

But it was different with those who could claim no such prerogative, and with those Jews who had become uneasy as to the grounds of such a relation and their validity -- in a word, with any who had been led by conscience to take a deeper view of the consequences of sin. So long as these were found mainly in punishment, suffering, judgment, so long 'remission of sins' -- letting off the consequences -- might suffice. But when it was recognized that sin had a far more serious consequence in alienation from God, the severing of the fellowship between God and His children, then Justification... ceased to be sufficient. 'Forgiveness' took on a deeper meaning; it connoted restoration of the fellowship, the establishment or reestablishment of a relation which could be described on the one side as fatherly, on the other as filial.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All plumed like estridges that with the wind Baited like eagles having lately bathed; Glittering in golden coats, like images; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55889]]></link><description><![CDATA[All plumed like estridges that with the wind Baited like eagles having lately bathed; Glittering in golden coats, like images; As full of spirit as the month of May, And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer. -King Henry IV.
