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://maxioms.com/maxiom/1603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Delay is ever fatal to those who are prepared. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57010]]></link><description><![CDATA[Delay is ever fatal to those who are prepared.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5506]]></link><description><![CDATA[Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And now am I, if a man should speak truly, little better than one of the wicked. -King Henry IV. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55837]]></link><description><![CDATA[And now am I, if a man should speak truly, little better than one of the wicked. -King Henry IV.
