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, ...

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[The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60238]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've known my lady (for she loves a tune) For fevers take an opera in June:  And, though perhaps ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56247]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've known my lady (for she loves a tune) For fevers take an opera in June:  And, though perhaps you'll think the practice bold,   A midnight park is sov'reign for a cold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tasty Wednesday ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tasty Wednesday]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The winds and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55]]></link><description><![CDATA[The winds and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Rich knowes not who is his friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49908]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Rich knowes not who is his friend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Care should be taken that the punishment does not exceed the guilt; and also that some men do not suffer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Care should be taken that the punishment does not exceed the guilt; and also that some men do not suffer for offenses for which others are not even indicted. [Lat., Cavendum est ne major poena quam culpa sit; et ne iisdem de causis alii plectantur, alii ne appellentur quidem.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65574]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Night is the mother of Councels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49645]]></link><description><![CDATA[Night is the mother of Councels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I say get an education.
