Waterfalls

Water and Waterfall Quotes:-

Water, whether still or in motion, has so 
great an attraction for the lover of nature, that the 
most beautiful landscape seems scarcely complete without it. 
There are no effects so fascinating as those produced by the 
reflections in nature’s living mirror, with their delicacy of form, 
ever fleeting and changing, and their subtle combinations of colour. 
-Montagu Pollock

Good luck and Good work for the happy mountain raindrops, 
each one of them a high waterfall in itself, descending from the cliffs
and hollows of the clouds to the cliffs and hollows of the rocks, 
out of the sky-thunder into the thunder of the falling rivers. 
-John Muir

As long as I live, 
I’ll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. 
I’ll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, 
storm, and the avalanche. 
I’ll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, 
and get as near the heart of the world as I can. 
-John Muir

A strong man and a waterfall always channel their own path. 
-Unknown

A lake carries you into recesses of feeling otherwise impenetrable. 
-William Wordsworth

A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. 
-Henry David Thoreau

I want my life to be a mountain stream that rushes down wild flowered slopes through pine glades into green valleys, I do not want culverts to contain my force or cement to channel my flow, nothing to break my life’s course with roots, stones and sand. 
-Lowell McMullin

The sea pronounces something, over and over, in a hoarse whisper; I cannot quite make it out. Annie Dillard

The lakes are something which you are unprepared for; they lie up so high, exposed to the light, and the forest is diminished to a fine fringe on their edges, with here and there a blue mountain, like amethyst jewels set around some jewel of the first water, – so anterior, so superior, to all the changes that are to take place on their shores, even now civil and refined, and fair as they can ever be. 
-Henry David Thoreau

I have never seen a river that I could not love. Moving water has a fascinating vitality. It has power and grace and associations. It has a thousand colors and a thousand shapes, yet it follows laws so definite that the tiniest streamlet is an exact replica of a great river. 
-Roderick Haig-Brown

Many a time have I merely closed my eyes at the end of yet another troublesome day and soaked my bruised psyche in wild water, rivers remembered and rivers imagined. Rivers course through my dreams, rivers cold and fast, rivers well-known and rivers nameless, rivers that seem like ribbons of blue water twisting through wide valleys, narrow rivers folded in layers of darkening shadows, rivers that have eroded down deep into a mountain’s belly, sculpted the land. Peeled back the planet’s history exposing the texture of time itself. 
-Harry Middleton

Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it. 
-Lao Tzu

The tree that is beside the running water is fresher and gives more fruit. 
-Saint Teresa of Avila

Water is sometimes sharp and sometimes strong, sometimes acid and sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet and sometimes thick or thin, sometimes it is seen bringing hurt or pestilence, sometime health-giving, sometimes poisonous. It suffers change into as many natures as are the different places through which it passes. And as the mirror changes with the colour of its subject, so it alters with the nature of the place, becoming noisome, laxative, astringent, sulfurous, salty, incarnadined, mournful, raging, angry, red, yellow, green, black, blue, greasy, fat or slim. Sometimes it starts a conflagration, sometimes it extinguishes one; is warm and is cold, carries away or sets down, hollows out or builds up, tears or establishes, fills or empties, raises itself or burrows down, speeds or is still; is the cause at times of life or death, or increase or privation, nourishes at times and at others does the contrary; at times has a tang, at times is without savor, sometimes submerging the valleys with great floods. In time and with water, everything changes. 
-Leonardo da Vinci
