It involves the concepts of authoritative examination, of unquestionable proof, of decisive judgment, of punitive power.

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[I had rather be a kitten and cry mew Than one of these same metre ballad-mongers. -King Henry IV.

She said, All things are prospering with me, and I have only one wish, that there may be a heavy fall of rain, in order that the plants may be well watered. Not long after, he went to the daughter who had married the tilemaker, and likewise inquired of her how she fared; she replied, I want for nothing, and have only one wish, that the dry weather may continue, and the sun shine hot and bright, so that the bricks might be dried. He said to her, If your sister wishes for rain, and you for dry weather, with which of the two am I to join my wishes?'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1583</guid></item></channel></rss>
