Water Quotes :: Finest Quotes

The shortage of fresh water is the major ecological problem of this moment.

If we could ever competitively, at a cheap rate, get fresh water from saltwater, ..(this) would be in the long-range interests of humanity which could really dwarf any other scientific accomplishments

John F. Kennedy

War over water would be an ultimate obscenity. And yet, unfortunately it is conceivable... Water has been a source over so many years of erosion of confidence, of tension, of human rights abuses, really, of so many in areas whose traditional water supplies have been controlled and depleted by occupational authorities. That must stop if we're going to be able to develop a climate for peace

Queen Noor of Jordan

I have left almost to the last the magic of water, an element which owing to its changefulness of form and mood and colour and to the vast range of its effects is ever the principal source of landscape beauty, and has like music a mysterious influence over the mind

Sir George Sitwell

Rain is a blessing when it falls gently on parched fields, turning the earth green, causing the birds to sing

Donald Worster

When you put your hand in a flowing stream, you touch the last that has gone before and the first of what is still to come

Leonardo da Vinci

I have never seen a river that I could not love. Moving waterÖhas a fascinating vitality. It has power and grace and associations. It has a thousand colors and a thousand shapes, yet it follows laws so definite that the tiniest streamlet is an exact replica of a great river

Roderick Haig-Brown

I chatter, chatter as I flow to join the brimming river, for men may come and men may go, but I go on forever

Lord Tennyson

Water is also one of the four elements, the most beautiful of God's creations. It is both wet and cold, heavy, and with a tendency to descend, and flows with great readiness. It is this the Holy Scripture has in view when it says, "And the darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Water, then, is the most beautiful element and rich in usefulness, and purifies from all filth, and not only from the filth of the body but from that of the soul, if it should have received the grace of the Spirit

John of Damascus

The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful book- a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice. And it was not a book to be read once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day

Mark Twain

Only one-third of the water that annually runs to the sea is accessible to humans. Of this, more than half is already being appropriated and used. This proportion might not seem so much, but demand will double in thirty years. And much of what is available is degraded by eroded silt, sewage, industrial pollution, chemicals, excess nutrients, and plagues of algae. Per capita availability of good, potable water is diminishing in all developed and developing countries

Marq de Villiers

Water Quote:I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes -- and the stars through his soul

Victor Hugo

A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.

Eleanor Roosevelt

It is with our passions, as it is with fire and water, they are good servants but bad masters

Aesop

Water is life's mater and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

When the well is dry, we know the worth of water

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), It's always our self we find in the sea

e.e. cummings

Ocean: A body of water occupying two-thirds of a world made for man - who has no gills

Ambrose Bierce

A person should go out on the water on a fine day to a small distance from a beautiful coast, if he would see Nature really smile. Never does she look so delightful, as when the sun is brightly reflected by the water, while the waves are gently rippling, and the prospect receives life and animation from the glancing transit of an occasional row-boat, and the quieter motion of a few small vessels. But the land must be well in sight; not only for its own sake, but because the immensity and awfulness of a mere sea-view would ill accord with the other parts of the glittering and joyous scene

Augustus William Hare

Stones are hollowed out by the constant dropping of water

Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

Only a fool tests the depth of the water with both feet

African Proverb

Thousands have lived without love, not one without water

W.H. Auden

Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans

Jacques Cousteau

All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again

Ecclesiastes

Water Quote:You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can crash, drip, flow...be water my friend

Bruce Lee
