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://maxioms.com/maxiom/1603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is nice to finish the home season with a victory, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41973]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is nice to finish the home season with a victory,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23306]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thank heaven.

This sentiment sometimes has even the hardiness to insinuate and maintain itself under the guise of extraordinary concern for practical religion; but it soon discovers the falsehood of this pretension, and betrays its real nature. The expedient, indeed, of attaining to superiority in practice by not wasting any of the attention on the internal principles from which alone practice can flow, is about as reasonable, and will answer about as well, as the economy of an architect who should account it mere prodigality to expend any of his materials in laying foundation, from an idea that they might be more usefully applied to the raising of the superstructure. We know what would be the fate of such an edifice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14423]]></link><description><![CDATA[Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it.
