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[If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24372]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loving a child doesn't mean giving in to all his whims; to love him is to bring out the best ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5939]]></link><description><![CDATA[Loving a child doesn't mean giving in to all his whims; to love him is to bring out the best in him, to teach him to love what is difficult.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10823]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive! - Marmion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive! - Marmion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that gives thee a bone, would not have thee die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that gives thee a bone, would not have thee die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although many machines have been disinfected, we're certainly not out of the woods yet.

How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune always fights on the side of the prudent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53298]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortune always fights on the side of the prudent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every dictator is an enemy of freedom, an opponent of law ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every dictator is an enemy of freedom, an opponent of law]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not turn back when you are just at the goal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46169]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not turn back when you are just at the goal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6009]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wear your learning, like a watch, in a private pocket: and do not pullit out and strike it, merely to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22344]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wear your learning, like a watch, in a private pocket: and do not pullit out and strike it, merely to show that you have one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou wear a lion's hide! doff it for shame, And hang a calf's skin on those recreant limbs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51344]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou wear a lion's hide! doff it for shame, And hang a calf's skin on those recreant limbs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to make God laugh, tell him your future plans. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63326]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to make God laugh, tell him your future plans.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit  Beneath my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3547]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit  Beneath my shady roof; there thou mayest rest   And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe,    And all the daughters of the year shall dance!     Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No, pray thee, let it serve for table-talk; Then howsome'er thou speak'st, 'mong other things  I shall digest it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58625]]></link><description><![CDATA[No, pray thee, let it serve for table-talk; Then howsome'er thou speak'st, 'mong other things  I shall digest it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crime requires further crime to conceal it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Crime requires further crime to conceal it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace originates with the flow of things — its heart is like the movement of the wind and waves.
