There is an apparent contradiction here, for how can we abide, and yet advance? It is a paradox, like much else in scripture; but Christian experience proves it true. Those make the best progress in religion who hold fast by the faith once for all delivered to the saints, and not those who drift away from their moorings, rudderless upon a sea of doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One shouldn't talk of halters in the hanged man's house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1210]]></link><description><![CDATA[One shouldn't talk of halters in the hanged man's house.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The circumstances of others seem good to us, while ours seem good to others. [Lat., Aliena nobis, nostra plus aliis ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8725]]></link><description><![CDATA[The circumstances of others seem good to us, while ours seem good to others. [Lat., Aliena nobis, nostra plus aliis placent.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O radiant Dark!

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.
