The good rain, like a bad preacher, does not know when to leave off.

Summary

This quote suggests that just like a bad preacher who goes on and on without knowing when to stop, a good rain continues for a prolonged period without knowing when to cease. It implies that while rain is generally beneficial and nourishing, too much of a good thing can become overwhelming and cause problems. Much like an overly long sermon can lose its impact and effectiveness, a continuous downpour can lead to flooding and destructive consequences. The quote highlights the importance of moderation and knowing when to stop in various contexts.
