~ To trace the history of a river or a raindrop…is also to trace the history of the soul, the history of the mind descending and arising in the body. In both, we constantly seek and stumble upon divinity, which like feeding the lake, and the spring becoming a waterfall, feeds, spills, falls, and feeds itself all over again ~
~ To live by a large river is to be kept in the heart of things ~
~ Water is the most critical resource issue of our lifetime and our children's lifetime.
The health of our waters is the principal measure of how we live on the land ~
~ A river is the report card for its watershed ~
~ To put your hands in a river is to feel the chords that bind the earth together ~
~ To the lost man, to the pioneer penetrating a new country, to the naturalist who wishes
to see the wild land at its wildest, the advice is always the same -- follow a river.
The river is the original forest highway. It is nature's own Wilderness Road ~
~ My soul is full of longing For the secret of the Sea, And the heart of the great ocean Sends a thrilling pulse through me ~
~ If there is poetry in my book about the sea, it is not because I deliberately put it there, but because no one could write truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry ~
~ Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water ~
~ Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind ~
~ Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny ~
~ A man who drinks only water has a secret to hide from his fellow men ~
~ Because there is a larger awareness that transcends time and space, an awareness is available after death. ~
~ Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it. ~
~ Fire, water and government know nothing of mercy. ~
