This obsession with roots will be felt especially keenly by foundlings, who often have no way of exploring their family histories.] I notice that genealogical sites now have warnings on them saying people should be ready for little surprises, ... They're not all going to find themselves descended from King Henry VIII or Richard Cur de Lion or Wellington. This is rather strange because it was pretty taken for granted a few generations ago that families had all kinds of little moments where things had gone not according to the book. It was just one of those things. You tried to accommodate it. There was no social welfare. You just had to sort it out within villages, the families, the parish. Children went to the workhouse, but people knew about it. Nowadays, there's a kind of surprise that these cases were so commonplace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have more and more ways to communicate, as Thoreau noted, but less and less to say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64334]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have more and more ways to communicate, as Thoreau noted, but less and less to say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She would have made Hercules have turned spit, yea, and have cleft his club to make the fire too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10146]]></link><description><![CDATA[She would have made Hercules have turned spit, yea, and have cleft his club to make the fire too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some aspects of success seem rather silly as death approaches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66168]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some aspects of success seem rather silly as death approaches.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We see an extensive program of dismantling state institutions ...

It is interesting to note that in the first centuries of the Christian era many demoniacal phenomena appeared in countries in the course of being converted from idolatry to Christianity. The same is true of pagan civilisation today. In my research into the fourth century, I was surprised to find a great recrudescence of magical practices at the very moment when Roman civilization under Constantine was about to be snatched away bodily from paganism and enter... into the kingdom of the Son; at that time, all the rites of sorcery took on an incredible virulence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The time to relax is when you don't have time for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22613]]></link><description><![CDATA[The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What babe new born is this that in a manger cries? Near on her lowly bed his happy mother lies. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8632]]></link><description><![CDATA[What babe new born is this that in a manger cries? Near on her lowly bed his happy mother lies.  Oh, see the air is shaken with white and heavenly wings--   This is the Lord of all the earth, this is the King of Kings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8632</guid></item></channel></rss>
