I always figured it meant that the truth would out (expose) the liars.
Good point. It is rather ambiguous such that we each come up with different interpretations, neither of which would be incorrect since they essentially mean the same thing (or at least similar).

Going with expressions

Mom used this aaaaa lot;

'DON'T MAKE ME COME BACK THERE!!'



That expression made quite an impression

pretty much stuck in all us kid's heads
 
Many great ones from WC Fields...

"I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to."
"I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure."
"Money will not buy happiness. But it will let you be unhappy in nice places."
"I cook with wine. Sometimes I even add it to the food."
"It ain't what they call you. It's what you answer to."
"Start every day off with a smile and get it over with."
"Some people are born losers. Others acquire the knack gradually."
"Scotch needs water like a fish needs a bicycle."
"A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money."

Some now not very politically correct, but he was the ultimate curmudgeon.
