Water Quotes

From the time we begin school, if not sooner, we are taught to be blind to our assets and only see our deficits. We are carefully marked on how many we got wrong on a test and, rarely if ever, asked how we know how to spell the ones we got right. By the time we are adults, we are well versed in every one of our limitations, skilled in our incompetence. If we were fish in an aquarium, it would be as if we kept smashing against the glass, and forgot the fact that we were perfectly capable of turning ever so slightly and swimming gracefully in the water all around us Picture Quote #1

There is lace in every living thing: the bare branches of winter, the patterns of clouds, the surface of water as it ripples in the breeze... Even a wild dog’s matted fur shows a lacy pattern if you look at it closely enough Picture Quote #1

Christians are like teabags, you don’t really know what they’re like until you put them in hot water Picture Quote #1

All the answers you may wish for lie within faith, but it demands a complete and incontinent surrender, an immersion as total as any baptism. Indeed baptism is a kind of enactment of the surrender: you bathe in faith, you swim in it, you live by it, surrounded by it, buoyed up by it, engulfed by it. You drown in it, for at times it takes your breath away as entirely as any lungful of water... All the answers lie in faith; and when you lose your faith you have no choice but to substitute for if a philosophy that deliberately and coldly offers no answers at all Picture Quote #1

Scared of a bunch of water? Then get out the rain.Order a rapper for lunch, and spit out the chain Picture Quote #1

The quality of a survival kit is determined how much it can help you when you need to sleep. If you can sleep well at night, you have it made. It should also assist you in meeting your water needs Picture Quote #1

One takes what the river offers, both good and bad. The joy of living by running water far outweighs the sorrow Picture Quote #1

What is time to a water rat? What is time to the river? Only we humans obsess over days and minutes, hours and seasons Picture Quote #1

The irony here is we’re looking for water and we’re looking out for water. Without it you die, and with too much of it you die Picture Quote #1

Regardless of the number of precautions that we take to save our necks, part of the attraction of going out on the water in the first place is the element of risk Picture Quote #1

The individual who cultivates grievances, and who is perpetually exacting explanations of his assumed wrongs, can only be ignored, and left to the education of time and of development... One does not argue or contend with the foul miasma that settles over stagnant water; one leaves it and climbs to a higher region, where the air is pure and the sunshine fair Picture Quote #1

I am in the poison gas business. Advertising should make you choke, make your eyes water, make you feel sick Picture Quote #1

If we think of what’s up ahead, with climate change and wars over water, it’s very frightening Picture Quote #1

Condemning all women in order to help some misguided men get over their foolish behaviour is tantamount to denouncing fire, which is a vital and beneficial element, just because some people are burnt by it, or to cursing water just because some people are drowned in it Picture Quote #1

We are the planet, fully as much as water, earth, fire and air are the planet, and if the planet survives, it will only be through heroism. Not occasional heroism, a remarkable instance of it here and there, but constant heroism, systematic heroism, heroism as governing principle Picture Quote #1

The water bath has a platform which the rats learn to find because they don’t like to get wet. Then you remove the platform. But you don’t tell the rats Picture Quote #1

Society is like a large piece of frozen water; and skating well is the great art of social life Picture Quote #1

Sunset on the water ought to be a quiet and easy time, but I guess some people can’t stand a little silence Picture Quote #1

I eyed her like a thirsty traveler in the desert looks at a pail of water Picture Quote #1

We are proposing buildings that, like trees, are net energy exporters, produce more energy than they consume, accrue and store solar energy, and purify their own waste, water and release it slowly in a purer form Picture Quote #1

$An undisturbed river is as perfect as we will ever know, every refractive slide of cold water a glimpse of eternity Picture Quote #1$

The standard of matrimony is erected by affection and purity, and does not depend upon the height, or bulk, or color, or wealth, or poverty of individuals. Water will seek its level; nature will have free course; and heart will answer to heart Picture Quote #1

The best fragrance is the scent of water, the fragrance of dew and rain falling on plants. Water is the essential element, a source of life and energy. A perfume that, like a garment, moves to suit the woman, her skin. A perfume that embraces a woman Picture Quote #1

If yet your blood does not rage, then it is water that flows in your veins. For what is the flush of youth, if it is not of service to the motherland Picture Quote #1

What I have related is sufficient for establishing the main principle, namely, that the heat which disappears in the conversion of water into vapour, is not lost, but is retained in vapour, and indicated by its expansive form, although it does not affect the thermometer. This heat emerges again from this vapour when it becomes water, and recovers its former quality of affecting the thermometer; in short, it appears again as the cause of heat and expansion Picture Quote #1

I was taught that if you see a person drowning, you must jump into the water to save them, whether you can swim or not Picture Quote #1

Water must be free for sustenance needs. Since nature gives water to us free of cost, buying and selling it for profit violates our inherent right to nature’s gift and denies the poor of their human rights Picture Quote #1

The study of an idea is, of necessity, the story of many things. Ideas, like large rivers, never have just one source. Just as the water of a river near its mouth, in its final form, is composed largely of many tributaries, so an idea, in its final form, is composed largely of later additions Picture Quote #1

When all is complete deep in the teapot, when tea, mint, and sugar have completely diffused throughout the water, coloring and saturating it... then a glass will be filled and poured back into the mixture, blending it further. The comes waiting. Motionless waiting. Finally, from high up, like some green cataract whose sight and sound mesmerize, the tea will once again cascade into a glass. Now it can be drunk, dreamily, forehead bowed, fingers held wide away from the scalding glass Picture Quote #1
