It involves the concepts of authoritative examination, of unquestionable proof, of decisive judgment, of punitive power. Whatever the final issue may be, he who "convicts" another places the truth of the case in dispute in a clear light before him, so that it must be seen and acknowledged as truth. He who then rejects the conclusion which the exposition involves, rejects it with his eyes open and at his peril. Truth seen as truth carries with it condemnation to all who refuse to welcome it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ride the air In whirlwind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57899]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ride the air In whirlwind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can confirm that four people are dead, our team has seen their bodies, but there could be many more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34833]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can confirm that four people are dead, our team has seen their bodies, but there could be many more dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By flying, men often rush into the midst of calamities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50561]]></link><description><![CDATA[By flying, men often rush into the midst of calamities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Other people's opinion of you does not have to become your reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Other people's opinion of you does not have to become your reality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man struggling with adversity is said by some heathen writer to be a spectacle on which the gods ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/707]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man struggling with adversity is said by some heathen writer to be a spectacle on which the gods might look down with pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Children have more need of models than of critics. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6015]]></link><description><![CDATA[Children have more need of models than of critics.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How you think when you lose determines how long it will be until youwin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21828]]></link><description><![CDATA[How you think when you lose determines how long it will be until youwin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell the FBI that the kidnappers should pick out a judge that Nixon wants back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell the FBI that the kidnappers should pick out a judge that Nixon wants back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes.

This sentiment sometimes has even the hardiness to insinuate and maintain itself under the guise of extraordinary concern for practical religion; but it soon discovers the falsehood of this pretension, and betrays its real nature. The expedient, indeed, of attaining to superiority in practice by not wasting any of the attention on the internal principles from which alone practice can flow, is about as reasonable, and will answer about as well, as the economy of an architect who should account it mere prodigality to expend any of his materials in laying foundation, from an idea that they might be more usefully applied to the raising of the superstructure. We know what would be the fate of such an edifice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a celebration of the water that is not romantic.
