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[The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind in never weary;  The vine still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52936]]></link><description><![CDATA[The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind in never weary;  The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,   But at every gust the dead leaves fall,    And the day is dark and dreary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The resistance of a woman to a man’s advances is not always a sign of virtue.

He insists he had 'legal authority derived from the Constitution and congressional resolution authorizing force.' But the Constitution explicitly requires the president to obey the law. And the post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing 'all necessary force' in fighting terrorism was made in clear reference to military intervention. It did not scrap the Constitution and allow the president to do whatever he pleased in any area in the name of fighting terrorism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether you boyle snow or pound it, you can have but water of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50088]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether you boyle snow or pound it, you can have but water of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58105]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25992]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Confusion's cure lives not In these confusions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51480]]></link><description><![CDATA[Confusion's cure lives not In these confusions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She blushed and smiled nonstop for 20 minutes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34389]]></link><description><![CDATA[She blushed and smiled nonstop for 20 minutes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some books are to be tasted; others swallowed; and some to be chewed and digested. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4604]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some books are to be tasted; others swallowed; and some to be chewed and digested.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man ever yet became great by imitation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20578]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man ever yet became great by imitation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A leader is a dealer in hope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24491]]></link><description><![CDATA[A leader is a dealer in hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...I mean just these sixteen accomplishments or whatever: I mean, we've got a major rapport - relationship of economics, major ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52978]]></link><description><![CDATA[...I mean just these sixteen accomplishments or whatever: I mean, we've got a major rapport - relationship of economics, major in the security, and all of that, we should not lose sight of.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ethics, too, are nothing but reverence for life.
