          institutions, as against opposition or denial. to
          affirm is to declare as true. we assert boldly; we
          affirm positively. to maintain is to uphold, and
          insist upon with earnestness, whatever we have once
          asserted; as, to maintain one's cause, to maintain an
          argument, to maintain the ground we have taken. to
          vindicate is to use language and measures of the
          strongest kind, in defense of ourselves and those for
          whom we act. we maintain our assertions by adducing
          proofs, facts, or arguments; we are ready to vindicate
          our rights or interests by the utmost exertion of our
          powers.
