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[There is something precious in our being mysteries to ourselves, in our being unable ever to see through even the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43600]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is something precious in our being mysteries to ourselves, in our being unable ever to see through even the person who is closest to our heart and to reckon with him as though he were a logical proposition or a problem in accounting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He pares his apple that will cleanly feed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13199]]></link><description><![CDATA[He pares his apple that will cleanly feed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Agriculture and Commerce ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Agriculture and Commerce]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You see things; and you say, 'Why?'
