In the winter of 1824, there set in a great flood upon that town--the tide rose to an incredible height: the waves rushed in upon the houses, and everything was threatened with destruction.

The Atlantic was roused. Mrs. Partington's spirit was up; but I need not tell you that the contest was unequal. The Atlantic Ocean beat Mrs. Partington. She was excellent at a slop or a puddle, but she should not have meddled with a tempest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To prefer evil to good is not in human nature; and when a man is compelled to choose one of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66898]]></link><description><![CDATA[To prefer evil to good is not in human nature; and when a man is compelled to choose one of two evils, no one will choose the greater when he might have the less.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an economic as well as an environmental catastrophe.
