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.

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[Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one has not given everything, one has given nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22508]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one has not given everything, one has given nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I also know all the clubs in the Premiership that blanked me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41909]]></link><description><![CDATA[I also know all the clubs in the Premiership that blanked me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are rednecks in our society and they can take law into their own hands, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29077]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are rednecks in our society and they can take law into their own hands,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle-aged men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4808]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle-aged men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age has deformities enough of its own.
