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[She has been very outspoken about her desire to be a young bride... so the idea of her learning what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31585]]></link><description><![CDATA[She has been very outspoken about her desire to be a young bride... so the idea of her learning what it's like to be married works either way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Psychoanalysis has changed American psychology from a diagnostic to a therapeutic science, not because so many patients are cured by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52033]]></link><description><![CDATA[Psychoanalysis has changed American psychology from a diagnostic to a therapeutic science, not because so many patients are cured by the psychoanalytic technique, but because of the new understanding of psychiatric patients it has given us, and the new and different concept of illness and health.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you were not a sinful, polluted, helpless, and miserable creature, this Savior would not be suited to you, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29559]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you were not a sinful, polluted, helpless, and miserable creature, this Savior would not be suited to you, and you would not be comprehended in his gracious invitations to the children of men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't want to get the same kind of advice from everyone on your board. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15860]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't want to get the same kind of advice from everyone on your board.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1764]]></link><description><![CDATA[To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man's nature runs to, the more ought law to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resentment is weak and lowers your self-esteem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53939]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resentment is weak and lowers your self-esteem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The obscenities of recent days may well be designed toundermine the peace process.
