Rivers

Some people drift along like a cork on a river, feeling that they cannot do anything except drift, moment to moment. This is an attitude of mind. Everyone can be constructive even in tiny ways.
- Edward de Bono

Fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen, and drowns things weighty and solid.
- Francis Bacon, 1561 - 1626

Upon those who step into the same rivers different and ever different waters flow down.
- Heraclitus of Ephesus

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge where there is no river.
- Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev, 1894 - 1971

Swimming for his life, a man does not see much of the country through which the river winds.
- William Ewart Gladstone, 1809 - 1898

Admit it, sport-utility-vehicle owners! It's shaped a little differently, but it's a station wagon! And you do not drive it across rivers! You drive it across the Wal-Mart parking lot!
- Dave Barry
