That which is now a horse, even with a thought The rack dislimms, and makes it indistinct As water is in water
Shakespeare
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
Gretel Ehrlich
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
Luna Leopold
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
Edwin Way Teale
Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water
Christopher Morley
A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.
Eleanor Roosevelt
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.
Lao Tzu
Water which is too pure has no fish
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Water is the only drink for a wise man.
Henry David Thoreau
Craftsmanship isnt like water in an earthen pot, to be taken out by the dipperful until its empty. No, the more drawn out the more remains.
Lloyd Chudley Alexander
