truth is strongest

"Wine is strong,
 the King is stronger,
 women are strongest,
 but TRUTH conquers all."
      
 - translation of an inscription in the Rosslyn Chapel (near
   Edinburgh, Scotland).  The original reads "FORTE EST VINUM, FORTIOR
   EST REX, FORTIORES SUNT MULIERES: SUPER OMNIA VINCIT VERITAS" and
   is taken from Chapter 3 of Esdras in the Apocrypha.
