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[For what avail the plough or sail, Or land or life, if freedom fail? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16717]]></link><description><![CDATA[For what avail the plough or sail, Or land or life, if freedom fail?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now fitted the halter, now travers'd the cart, And often took leave; but was loth to part. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45570]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now fitted the halter, now travers'd the cart, And often took leave; but was loth to part.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had Tibet not fallen away from dharmaChina could not have invaded.(in reference to violation of Buddha'sforbidding animal slaughter). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27571]]></link><description><![CDATA[Had Tibet not fallen away from dharmaChina could not have invaded.(in reference to violation of Buddha'sforbidding animal slaughter).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is in the end to be thrown down, Begins by being first set on high. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21107]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is in the end to be thrown down, Begins by being first set on high.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot find in the Old Testament the fondly drawn distinction of our latter days between the natural and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6338]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot find in the Old Testament the fondly drawn distinction of our latter days between the natural and the supernatural, for the whole of the natural order is so directly linked with God that its conservation must be regarded as a kind of continuous creation, quite as dependent on God's creative Word as when first the heavens and the earth were made.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We wanted to create a dorm room environment for the event. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33228]]></link><description><![CDATA[We wanted to create a dorm room environment for the event.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thank you for your voices: thank you: Your most sweet voices. -Coriolanus.

But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do have a small collection of traditional SF ideas which I've never been able to sell.
