I promise thee, Christ will not hear their excuse; for He himself suffered harm for our sakes, and for our salvation was put to extreme death. I wis, if it had pleased Him, He might have saved us and never felt pain; but in suffering pains and death He did give us example, and teach us how we should do one for another, as He did for us all; for, as He saith himself, "he that will be mine, let him deny himself, and follow me, in bearing my cross and suffering my pains."

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[I pitied him in his blindness But can I boast, "I see?"

One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. He gave me this advice, his companion replied. Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Parenting Manual -Doc Childre. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5247]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Parenting Manual -Doc Childre.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Manifest plainness, embrace simplicity, reduce selfishness, have few desires. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64739]]></link><description><![CDATA[Manifest plainness, embrace simplicity, reduce selfishness, have few desires.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination is the air of mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20511]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imagination is the air of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel she needs opposition.

These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard.
