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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let me love Thee so that the honour, riches, and pleasures of the world may seem unworthy even of hatred ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8041]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let me love Thee so that the honour, riches, and pleasures of the world may seem unworthy even of hatred -- may not even be encumbrances.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I learned something from every fight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29155]]></link><description><![CDATA[I learned something from every fight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60743]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Treason and murder ever kept together, As two yoke-devils sworn to either's purpose,  Working so grossly in a natural ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59656]]></link><description><![CDATA[Treason and murder ever kept together, As two yoke-devils sworn to either's purpose,  Working so grossly in a natural cause   That admiration did not whoop at them;    But thou, 'gainst all proportion, didst bring in     Wonder to wait on treason and on murder;      And whatsoever cunning fiend it was       That wrought upon thee so preposterously        Hath got the voice in hell for excellence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a part of all you see In Nature: part of all you feel:  I am the impact ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43796]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am a part of all you see In Nature: part of all you feel:  I am the impact of the bee   Upon the blossom; in the tree    I am the sap--that shall reveal     The leaf, the bloom--that flows and flutes      Up from the darkness through its roots.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We think one of the more exciting opportunities this year in the market are in the tech sector. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34032]]></link><description><![CDATA[We think one of the more exciting opportunities this year in the market are in the tech sector.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34032</guid></item></channel></rss>
