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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The books that help you the most are those which make you think the most. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4495]]></link><description><![CDATA[The books that help you the most are those which make you think the most.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12083]]></link><description><![CDATA[Upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All who would win joy, must share it; happiness was born a twin.

One of the Apes, who had raised himself to beking, commanded them to be seized and brought before him, that hemight know what was said of him among men. He ordered at thesame time that all the Apes be arranged in a long row on hisright hand and on his left, and that a throne be placed for him,as was the custom among men. After these preparations hesignified that the two men should be brought before him, andgreeted them with this salutation: What sort of a king do I seemto you to be, O strangers?' The Lying Traveler replied, You seemto me a most mighty king. And what is your estimate of thoseyou see around me?' These, he made answer, are worthycompanions of yourself, fit at least to be ambassadors andleaders of armies. The Ape and all his court, gratified with thelie, commanded that a handsome present be given to the flatterer. On this the truthful Traveler thought to himself, If so great areward be given for a lie, with what gift may not I be rewarded,if, according to my custom, I tell the truth?' The Ape quicklyturned to him. And pray how do I and these my friends around meseem to you?' Thou art, he said, a most excellent Ape, and allthese thy companions after thy example are excellent Apes too.The King of the Apes, enraged at hearing these truths, gave himover to the teeth and claws of his companions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are some groups that are resistant to vaccination because of the belief that influenza shot causes the flu.

At first sight, it may seem that they have only to proclaim and declare; but in fact, if their words are to enter men's hearts and bear fruit, they must be the right words, shaped cunningly to pass men's defenses and explode silently and effectually within their minds. This means, in practice, turning a face of flint toward the easy cliche, the well-worn religious cant and phraseology -- dear, no doubt, to the faithful, but utterly meaningless to those outside the fold. It means learning how people are thinking and how they are feeling; it means learning with patience, imagination and ingenuity the way to pierce apathy or blank lack of understanding. I sometimes wonder what hours of prayer and thought lie behind the apparently simple and spontaneous parables of the Gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That puts it not unto the touch To win or lose it all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25579]]></link><description><![CDATA[That puts it not unto the touch To win or lose it all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64636]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability.
