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[When you make an efficient choice in moments of indecision, you establish more effectiveness within a given time span, saving ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59340]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you make an efficient choice in moments of indecision, you establish more effectiveness within a given time span, saving energy and stress.

The gates have been opened to evil in part because of a terrible discrepancy between human ideals and actual possibilities -- terrible heresies concerning the nature of man and the structure of the historical universe. Christianity, even if it cannot persuade men to rise to the contemplation of the spiritual things, embodies principles which may at least have the effect of bringing the dreamers down to earth. Because it confronts the problem of human sin, it can face our difficulties and dilemmas without evasions -- without the fundamental evasiveness of those who believe that all would be well with the world if it were not for a few unspeakable criminals, always conveniently identified with the political enemy of the moment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first principle of ethical power is Purpose...
