Division
The family, originally very small, significantly grew, which caused divisions of the fortune possessed, but made a political start easier thanks to the support of many people in the Sejms, in the Senate or at the royal court. Successive representatives of the family were also able to count on the support from their relatives in the political or court activities.
The family split into five major lineages: of Wiśnicz (from Aleksander Michał (1614 – 1677), Łańcut (from Stanisław Herakliusz (1642 – 1702), Przeworsk (from Aleksander Michał – d. 1675), Rzeszów (from Hieronim Augustyn (c. 1647 – 1706) and Janowiec (from Jerzy Dominik (1665 – 1727). The most numerous was the line of Przeworsk, which was divided into three branches: dubrowieńsko-kruszyńska, równieńsko-przeworska and dubieńska. Many representatives of this line live now.

Famous quotes containing the word division:
“Don’t order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple.... Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don’t know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“God and the Devil are an effort after specialization and the division of labor.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Between married persons, the cement of friendship is by the laws supposed so strong as to abolish all division of possessions: and has often, in reality, the force ascribed to it.
”
