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[Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by silence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36448]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by silence]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But there are some people where it's working fine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29437]]></link><description><![CDATA[But there are some people where it's working fine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is not comprehensible, but it is embraceable: through the embracing of one of its beings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14599]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is not comprehensible, but it is embraceable: through the embracing of one of its beings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hygiene is two thirds of health. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hygiene is two thirds of health.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom all solace to man gives: He lives at ease that freely lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46335]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom all solace to man gives: He lives at ease that freely lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our goal is always to hold the other team to 15 points or less.

Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity. In her there is treasure enough of consoling tenderness to allay every pain. Moreover for every one of us she is the initiator of the future. The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points to Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parents forgive their children least readily for the faults they themselves instilled in them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Parents forgive their children least readily for the faults they themselves instilled in them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Call things by their right names . . .
