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'm a firm believer that it's not the way you look or what you have, but what you've got inside. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40249]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm a firm believer that it's not the way you look or what you have, but what you've got inside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good instincts usually tell you what to do before your head has figured itout. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good instincts usually tell you what to do before your head has figured itout.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O month when they who love must love and wed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26612]]></link><description><![CDATA[O month when they who love must love and wed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is my understanding from briefings that I have had with high-level sources within the intelligence organizations of this country ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39208]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is my understanding from briefings that I have had with high-level sources within the intelligence organizations of this country that at least two of the identified terrorists so far were people known to intelligence and immigration agencies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is the answer, but while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53411]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is the answer, but while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Methinks I have a great desire to a bottle of hay.

But now I may say I heard, but I understood not; for they were far above, out of my reach; for their talk was about a new birth -- the work of God on their hearts. And methought they spake as if Joy did make them speak; they spake with such pleasantness of scripture language and with such appearance of grace in all they said, that they were to me as if they had found a new world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way to be a man of prayer, and be governed by its spirit, is not to get a book ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7073]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way to be a man of prayer, and be governed by its spirit, is not to get a book full of prayers; but the best help you can have from a book, is to read one full of such truths, instructions, and awakening informations, as force you to see and know who, and what, and where, you are; that God is your all; and that all is misery, but a heart and life devoted to him. This is the best outward prayer book you can have, as it will turn you to an inward book, and spirit of prayer in your heart, which is a continual longing desire of the heart after God, his divine life, and Holy Spirit. When, for the sake of this inward prayer, you retire at any time of the day, never begin till you know and feel, why and wherefore you are going to pray; and let this why and wherefore, form and direct everything that comes from you, whether it be in thought or in word.

By this we do not mean any particular part of the Church; what we do mean is that conversion must leave one linked in loving fellowship with one's fellow believers. Conversion is not something simply between a man and Jesus Christ, with no other person involved. True, it may start in that way; but it cannot end in that way. Conversion is not individualistic. It is, in fact, just the opposite. It joins man to his fellow men, and certainly does not separate him from them.

I can't reach the ghost of an image, a formula, or even a feeling, that combines them. But the reality, we are given to understand, does. Reality is the iconoclast once more.
