Sometimes we can be 50-75 percent under water. When this happens we can't get our work done, but we can put up with it until the end of February. Then we have to get back to work. When there are breaks in the storm, that allows the water to drain and we can work around that. But when it is just continuous, then we get in trouble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evil is always possible.

Many, indeed, will unreservedly declare, and more will hint, the opinion that the difference between the qualities above mentioned and religion, is rather a verbal or logical, than a real and essential difference; for in truth, what are they but religion in substance if not in name? Is it not the great end of religion, and, in particular, the glory of Christianity, to extinguish the malignant passions; to curb the violence, to control the appetites, and to smooth the asperities of man; to make us compassionate and kind, and forgiving one to another; to make us good husbands, good fathers, good friends; and to render us active and useful in the discharge of the relative social and civil duties? We do not deny that, in the general mass of society, and particularly in the lower orders, such conduct and tempers can not be diffused and maintained by any other medium than that of religion. But if the end be effected, surely it is only an unnecessary refinement to dispute about the means. It is even to forget your own principles; and to refuse its just place to solid, practical virtue, while you assign too high a value to speculative opinions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64724]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics governs everything we do - the games we play, the way we play them, who we play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics governs everything we do - the games we play, the way we play them, who we play.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tragedy and comedy are but two aspects of what is real, and whether we see the tragic or the humorous ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46238]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tragedy and comedy are but two aspects of what is real, and whether we see the tragic or the humorous is a matter of perspective.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People in the Tug Valley can identify because they've been through hellacious floods.
