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[The total absence of humor from the Bible is one of the most singular things in all literature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53577]]></link><description><![CDATA[The total absence of humor from the Bible is one of the most singular things in all literature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He scorn'd his own, who felt another's woe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46455]]></link><description><![CDATA[He scorn'd his own, who felt another's woe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46409]]></link><description><![CDATA[We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is not received.

The reaction to such a study may indeed prove to be conversion or open hostility, but it would at least mean the end of childish and ill-informed attacks upon what is supposed to be the Christian religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we were off of our game.

I had made myself the centre of my own existence and had my back turned to God. All the beauty and truth which I had discovered had come to me as a reflection of his beauty, but I had kept my eyes fixed on the reflection and was always looking at myself. But God had brought me to the point at which I was compelled to turn away from the reflection, both of myself and of the world which could only mirror my own image. During that night the mirror had been broken, and I had felt abandoned because I could no longer gaze upon the image of my own reason and the finite world which it knew. God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You think him to be your dupe; if he feigns to be so who is the greater dupe, he or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11531]]></link><description><![CDATA[You think him to be your dupe; if he feigns to be so who is the greater dupe, he or you? [Fr., Vous le croyez votre dupe: s'il feint de l'etre, qui est plus dupe, de lui ou de vous?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never too old to learn. -Latin proverb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1824]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never too old to learn. -Latin proverb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We may eventually come to realize that chastity is no more a virtue than malnutrition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22558]]></link><description><![CDATA[We may eventually come to realize that chastity is no more a virtue than malnutrition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22558</guid></item></channel></rss>
