How many inventions are some people forced to have recourse to in order to keep off a certain inward uneasiness, which they are afraid of and know not whence it comes? Alas, it is because there is a fallen spirit, a dark, aching fire, within them, which has never had its proper relief and is trying to discover itself and calling out for help at every cessation of worldly joy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conditions are never just right.

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[You've just got to think that your legs aren't tired and there's still a lot of game left to play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38916]]></link><description><![CDATA[You've just got to think that your legs aren't tired and there's still a lot of game left to play.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66799]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9021]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wise living consists perhaps less in acquiring good habits than in acquiring as few habits as possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wise living consists perhaps less in acquiring good habits than in acquiring as few habits as possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although a man may wear fine clothing, if he lives peacefully;
