The next day it snowed very hard, so that he could not take the herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep them in the fold. He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own. When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the mountains. The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of them than of his own herd. One of them, turning about, said to him: That is the very reason why we are so cautious; for if you yesterday treated us better than the Goats you have had so long, it is plain also that if others came after us, you would in the same manner prefer them to ourselves. Old friends cannot with impunity be sacrificed for new ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes you wake up.

It may be that today the philosopher is honouring the Name af God when he insists that we should know what we mean when we utter our religious language and that we should be ready to have that meaning tested. It may be that other philosophers hallow the Name when they refuse to allow us to withdraw it to some supernatural realm, but insist on wrestling with the unknown God in the agony and joy of existence, crying with Jacob, "Tell me, I pray thee, thy Name." And is not the scientist honouring the Name when he patiently and obediently follows where the evidence leads? Or the social scientist when he asks us to understand what is before we begin pronouncing what ought to be? God does not spend all His time in Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe in Michelangelo, Velasquez, and Rembrandt; in the might of design, the mystery of color, the redemption of all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3375]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe in Michelangelo, Velasquez, and Rembrandt; in the might of design, the mystery of color, the redemption of all things by Beauty everlasting, and the message of Art that has made these hands blessed.

It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are mystically in our faces certain characters which carry in them the motto of our souls, wherin he that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43854]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are mystically in our faces certain characters which carry in them the motto of our souls, wherin he that cannot read A, B, C may read our natures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious, and he that becomes suspicious will quickly become corrupt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58423]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious, and he that becomes suspicious will quickly become corrupt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're trying to play less physical and knock the ball around more than we were before playing Arapahoe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31290]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're trying to play less physical and knock the ball around more than we were before playing Arapahoe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the meantime, the data on the US economy (especially employment and industrial production) will look very weak in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40736]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the meantime, the data on the US economy (especially employment and industrial production) will look very weak in the next few months,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Achieve success in any area of life by identifying the optimumstrategies and repeating them until they become habits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Achieve success in any area of life by identifying the optimumstrategies and repeating them until they become habits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth. -Peter Ustinov. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45520]]></link><description><![CDATA[Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth. -Peter Ustinov.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine to the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16274]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine to the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Propaganda must not serve the truth, especially insofar as it might bring out something favorable for the opponent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Propaganda must not serve the truth, especially insofar as it might bring out something favorable for the opponent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to be faithful than famous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15049]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to be faithful than famous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unbeing dead isn't being alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unbeing dead isn't being alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Expect icy conditions and drive in such a manner.
