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. In the midst of this sublime and terrible storm, Dame Partington, who lived upon the beach, was seen at the door of her house with mop and pattens, trundling her mop, squeezing out the sea water, and vigorously pushing away the Atlantic Ocean. 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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath die end.  I was angry with my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2533]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath die end.  I was angry with my foe;   I told it not, my wrath did grow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is not poore that hath little, but he that desireth much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49317]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is not poore that hath little, but he that desireth much.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A government of laws, and not of men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17970]]></link><description><![CDATA[A government of laws, and not of men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dear Jesus!
