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[And with unwearied fingers drawing out The lines of life, from living knowledge hid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58025]]></link><description><![CDATA[And with unwearied fingers drawing out The lines of life, from living knowledge hid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I technically have two last names, which is a lot of fun when you're making airline reservations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41259]]></link><description><![CDATA[I technically have two last names, which is a lot of fun when you're making airline reservations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What has 'theology' ever said that is of the smallest use to anybody?

It is a well that has no bottom.   St. John Chrysostom  September 14, 2002 Feast of the Holy Cross    Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which God gives to every person who has the use of reason. This knowledge is good... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity. St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6832</guid></item></channel></rss>
