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://maxioms.com/maxiom/1562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We think in generalities, but we live in detail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65913]]></link><description><![CDATA[We think in generalities, but we live in detail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It would be equally reasonable to say that sheep are born carnivorous, and everywhere nibble grass. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16682]]></link><description><![CDATA[It would be equally reasonable to say that sheep are born carnivorous, and everywhere nibble grass.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24481]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many things made me become a vegetarian, among them, the higher food yield as a solution to world hunger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60459]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many things made me become a vegetarian, among them, the higher food yield as a solution to world hunger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not worry about the incarnation of ideas.

We also are not worrying about immortality, hardly believe in it, or at least are not sure; we, too, have limited ourselves to this dust-speck of time, leaving unclaimed the vast inheritance beyond of which Christ told us; we, too, are putting all our zeal and passion and enthusiasm into things of this earth here, quite sure that that is the only road to progress, and that this everlasting chatter about the soul is quite beside the point. And they are all so earnest and so certain, work so hard, are animated often by such lofty motives, are so sure that there is really no manner of need for Christ: that given this, and this, and this, each of them pushing forward his particular panacea -- the world will manage very well; that to talk about Christ, and changing people's hearts, and making us new creatures, is merely to lose precious time and wander from the practical into vague day-dreaming of which nothing comes. And year by year their voices grow a little harder, and they eye Christ more and more askance, feel sourly that He is a bit of a nuisance and a stumbling-block to progress, keeping people quiet who should not be quiet, lulling them with these dim, immaterial, fantastic, spiritual hopes of His which they think have no body, and can not have. Once more the whisper grows, "Were He not far better away?" Meantime we can ignore Him, they say; and they do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He saw her charming, but he saw not half The charms her downcast modesty conceal'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42915]]></link><description><![CDATA[He saw her charming, but he saw not half The charms her downcast modesty conceal'd.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cat can maintain a position of curled up somnolence on your knee until you are nearly upright.
