Famous quotes containing the word rivers:

    “As for evildoers, for them awaits a painful chastisement;
    but for those who believe, and do deeds
    of righteousness, they shall be admitted
    to gardens underneath which rivers flow,
    therein dwelling forever,
    by the leave of their Lord, their greeting
    therein: “Peace!””
    —Qur’An. Abraham 14:28 (ed. Arthur J. Arberry, 1955)

    “By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, then we remembered Zion.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm CXXXVII (l. CXXXVII, 1)

    “While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
