This allusion to seeing things in the same way first occurred in the Bible

the one true God, “Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice
together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye” (Isaiah 52:8).

One will stay true to one's nature, even if one pretends or claims
otherwise.
“Brendan: ‘Do you think he’ll ever stop lying to us?’ William: ‘I

This idiom dates as far back as the Old Testament. It was used in
Jeremiah 13:23, where the Hebrew prophet Jeremiah had originally
said: “Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard its spots?”. "A
leopard never changes its spots" derives directly from that phrase and
is still used today.

With governmental resources already strained to the breaking point,
any sort of environmental disaster would likely be the straw that

capacity to move, to the scenario of a single straw
of grass or hay overwhelming the desert-roaming beast of burden.

58. bandar kya jane adrak ka swaad
बन्दर क्या जाने अदरक का स्वाद
