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[Feast of the Venerable Bede, Priest, Monk of Jarrow, Historian, 735 Commemoration of Aldhelm, Abbot of Mamsbury, Bishop of Sherborne, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Venerable Bede, Priest, Monk of Jarrow, Historian, 735 Commemoration of Aldhelm, Abbot of Mamsbury, Bishop of Sherborne, 709   In the way of virtue, there is no standing still; anyone who does not daily advance, loses ground.

His existence is both objectively and subjectively evident. It is necessary logically because our assumption of order, design, and rationality rests upon it. It is necessary morally because there is no explanation for the shape of morality apart from it. It is necessary emotionally because the human experience requires an immediate and ultimate environment. It is necessary personally because the exhaustion of all material possibilities still cannot give satisfaction to the heart. The deepest proof for God's existence, apart from history, is just life itself. God has created man in his image, and men cannot elude the implications of this fact. Everywhere their identity pursues them. Ultimately, there is no escape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't at all like knowing what people say of me behind my back.

The man whose prayer is so pure that he never asks God for anything does not know who God is, and does not know who he is himself: for he does not know his own need of God. All true prayer somehow confesses our absolute dependence on the Lord of life and death. It is, therefore, a deep and vital contact with Him whom we know not only as Lord but as Father. It is when we pray truly that we really are. Our being is brought to a high perfection by this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her cabin'd ample spirit, It fluttered and fail'd for breath;  Tonight it doth inherit   The vasty hall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11167]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her cabin'd ample spirit, It fluttered and fail'd for breath;  Tonight it doth inherit   The vasty hall of death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64263]]></link><description><![CDATA[If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think there's any animosity between the two sides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35837]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think there's any animosity between the two sides.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nation devoid of art and artists cannot have a full existence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39790]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nation devoid of art and artists cannot have a full existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who can believe that there is no soul behind those luminous eyes! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5344]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who can believe that there is no soul behind those luminous eyes!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To Greece we give our shining blades. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18285]]></link><description><![CDATA[To Greece we give our shining blades.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each and every master, regardless of the era or the place, heard the call and attained harmony with heaven and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each and every master, regardless of the era or the place, heard the call and attained harmony with heaven and earth.
