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[When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52993]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two meanings have our lightest fantasies, One of the flesh, and of the spirit one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15283]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two meanings have our lightest fantasies, One of the flesh, and of the spirit one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise hand doth not all that the foolish mouth speakes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49935]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise hand doth not all that the foolish mouth speakes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's low volume, so a little selling goes a long way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30759]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's low volume, so a little selling goes a long way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is surprized with the first frost feeles it all the winter after. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49369]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is surprized with the first frost feeles it all the winter after.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idea is to make the chambers speak to the governments to implement these proposals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42605]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idea is to make the chambers speak to the governments to implement these proposals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is not averse to deceit in a holy cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11515]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is not averse to deceit in a holy cause.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glamour is what makes a man ask for your telephone number.
