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://maxioms.com/maxiom/39532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A late Easter this year, following an early one last year, contributed to weakness in chain store sales in March, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36353]]></link><description><![CDATA[A late Easter this year, following an early one last year, contributed to weakness in chain store sales in March, and should ensure strength in April.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive.

To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt. Vanity and vainglory are suffered without interruption to retain their natural possession of the heart.   ... William Wilberforce, A Practical View  July 31, 2000 Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  Jesus used the term abba (which means father or "daddy" in his Aramaic mother tongue), as an address in his prayers to God. There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way. The others perhaps regarded it as child's talk, a form of expression too disrespectful to be so used. But for Jesus, abba expressed the filial intimacy he felt toward his Father. As the divine Son of the Father, Jesus enjoyed a unique relationship with him, and his mission in the world consisted in opening up the blessings of sonship to those who believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16457]]></link><description><![CDATA[God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the moment we saw the flag rising was the one we did not allow ourselves to even imagine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29985]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the moment we saw the flag rising was the one we did not allow ourselves to even imagine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a dual-sided thing.

Not an evil in flesh and blood, not a misery of life, not a chain of death, not a power of hell and darkness, but were all baffled, broken, and overcome by the process of a suffering and dying Christ.
