If these are gifted with heroic qualities, to vanquish the oppressors of Israel, it is nevertheless not this heroism that forms their principal characteristic. That consists in judging. They restore... the authority of the law. For this reason, God raises up judges, not princes. The title sets forth both their work and the occasion of their appointment.

It would keep it constantly in your head, that softness and idleness were to be avoided, that self-denial was a part of Christianity...

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[I stand on the sidewalk watching it because the responsibility is mine and I must, I take a very firm ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35933]]></link><description><![CDATA[I stand on the sidewalk watching it because the responsibility is mine and I must, I take a very firm hold on the handles of the baby carriage and I wheel it into the traffic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wages of sin are sables. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56415]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wages of sin are sables.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If someone says "can't," that shows you what to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21464]]></link><description><![CDATA[If someone says "can't," that shows you what to do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no small pleasure in sweet water. [Lat., Est in aqua dulci non invidiosa voluptas.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61298]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no small pleasure in sweet water. [Lat., Est in aqua dulci non invidiosa voluptas.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Pilgrim of Eternity, whose fame Over his living head like Heaven is bent,  An early but enduring monument, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14211]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Pilgrim of Eternity, whose fame Over his living head like Heaven is bent,  An early but enduring monument,   Came, veiling all the lightnings of his song    In sorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be slow of tongue and quick of eye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5381]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be slow of tongue and quick of eye.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet how much less it were to gain, Though thou hast left me free,  The loveliest things that still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26925]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet how much less it were to gain, Though thou hast left me free,  The loveliest things that still remain,   Than thus remember thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men are true men, the men in whom nature has succeeded.
