Empty your mind

"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend."

~ Bruce Lee

Be like water

"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves."

~ Bruce Lee

I'm intrigued

“I'm intrigued that one can recognize different parts of the world solely by the particular color of the water.”

Leonard Mizerek

To have faith

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.

~Alan Watts

You could not

You could not step into the same rivers twice, for other waters are forever flowing onto you.

~Heraclitus

We are no guiltier

We are no guiltier in following the primative impulses that govern us than is the Nile for her floods or the sea for her waves.

~ Marquis de Sade

Between earth

Between earth and earth's atmosphere, the amount of water remains constant; there is never a drop more, never a drop less. This is a story of circular infinity, of a planet birthing itself.

~Linda Hogan

Water

Water, thou hast no taste, no color, no odor; canst not be defined, art relished while ever mysterious. Not necessary to life, but rather life itself, thou fillest us with a gratification that exceeds the delight of the senses.

~Antoine De Saint-Exupery

If you gave me

If you gave me several million years, there would be nothing that did not grow in beauty if it were surrounded by water.

~Jan Erik Vold

All the water

All the water that will ever be is, right now.

~National Geographic, October 1993

Life

Life originated in the sea, and about eighty percent of it is still there.

~Isaac Asimov

Water

Water is the best of all things.

~Pindar

When

There is

There is no small pleasure in water.

~Ovid

In every glass

In every glass of water we drink, some of the water has already passed through fishes, trees, bacteria, worms in the soil, and many other organisms, including people.

~Elliot A Norse

If

If there is magic on this plant, it is contained in water.

~ Loran Eisely

Water is

Water is H2O, hydrogen two parts, oxygen one, but there is also a third thing, that makes water and nobody knows what that is.

~D H Lawrence

Water

Water is the King of Food

~ Nigerian proverb

Only those people

Only those people that have directly experienced the wetlands that line the shore...can appreciate their mystic qualities. The beauty of rising mists at dusk, the ebb and flow of the tides, the merging of fresh and salt waters, the turmoil of wind and rain.

~Governor's Task Force On Marine And Coastal Affairs, Delaware: Wetlands, 1972

If you could

If you could tomorrow morning make water clean in the world, you would have done, in one fell swoop, the best thing you could have done for improving human health by improving environmental quality.

~William C. Clark
