It involves the conceptions of authoritative examination, of unquestionable proof, of decisive judgment, of punitive power. Whatever the final issue may be, he who "convicts" another must place the truth of the case 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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We still believe the outlook is very bright. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34052]]></link><description><![CDATA[We still believe the outlook is very bright.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A benevolent man should allow a few faults in himself, to keep his friends in countenance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15424]]></link><description><![CDATA[A benevolent man should allow a few faults in himself, to keep his friends in countenance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66826]]></link><description><![CDATA[What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64787]]></link><description><![CDATA[My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wasn't kissing her, I was whispering in her mouth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23838]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wasn't kissing her, I was whispering in her mouth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55066]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others. -Sydney J.

The next day it snowed very hard, so that he could not take the herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep them in the fold. He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own. When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the mountains. The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of them than of his own herd. One of them, turning about, said to him: That is the very reason why we are so cautious; for if you yesterday treated us better than the Goats you have had so long, it is plain also that if others came after us, you would in the same manner prefer them to ourselves. Old friends cannot with impunity be sacrificed for new ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were pounding on me, but that's nothing new.
