Water is soft, but can maneuver any obstacle; be shrewd, and be gentle, and you too will be able to do likewise.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Water returns to the ocean. Light returns to the sun. Life returns to God.
Water your dreams with fear, and they will wilt; with doubt, and they will wither; with hope, and they will grow; with faith, and they will flourish.
Water drops erode mountains not because of their size, but their persistence.
A river does not go looking for water, water comes looking for it instead.
If you pour more water into a river, it will not drown the fish.
Be like water; soft as it is, it breaks through rocks and impenetrable surfaces.
Water has no mouth, but swallows many. Light has no hands, but touches many. Wind has no feet, but carries many. Darkness has no teeth, but devours many.
Water is sagacious because it carries inside of itself the bottomless profundity of oceans, the cosmic looks of the clouds, subtle wits of the rivers, the inquisitive character of the rains and the silent meditation of the little lakes!
~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
