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[The best time to hold your tongue is the time you feel you must say something or bust. -Josh Billings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25208]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best time to hold your tongue is the time you feel you must say something or bust. -Josh Billings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62741]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the very essence of despotism that it can never afford to fail.

This is what distinguishes it most vitally from democracy. In a despotism there is no organized opposition which can take over the power when the Administration in office has failed. All the eggs are in one basket. Everything is staked on one coterie of men. When the going is good, they move more quickly and efficiently than democracies, where the opposition has to be persuaded and conciliated. But when they lose, there are no reserves. There are no substitutes on the bench ready to go out on the field and carry the ball. That is why democracies with the habit of party government have outlived all other forms of government in the modern world. They have, as it were, at least two governments always at hand, and when one fails they have the other. They have diversified the risks of mortality, corruption, and stupidity which pervade all human affairs. They have remembered that the most beautifully impressive machine cannot run for very long unless there is available a complete supply of spare parts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone can rat, but it takes a certain amount of ingenuity to re-rat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54081]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone can rat, but it takes a certain amount of ingenuity to re-rat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No other success can compensate for failure in the home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60232]]></link><description><![CDATA[No other success can compensate for failure in the home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would steal anything I could so we could survive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42270]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would steal anything I could so we could survive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1700]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But then I sigh, and, with a piece of Scripture, Tell them that Gods bids us do good for evil: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60651]]></link><description><![CDATA[But then I sigh, and, with a piece of Scripture, Tell them that Gods bids us do good for evil:  And thus I clothe my naked villainy   With odd old ends stol'n forth of holy writ,    And seems a saint, when most I play the devil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An injured friend is the bitterest of foes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66820]]></link><description><![CDATA[An injured friend is the bitterest of foes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never known a person who lives to 110 who is remarkable for anything else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1765]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've never known a person who lives to 110 who is remarkable for anything else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work is the refuge of people who have nothing better to do ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Work is the refuge of people who have nothing better to do]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation.
