Famous quotes containing the word water:

    The land may vary more;
    But wherever the truth may be—
    The water comes ashore,
    And the people look at the sea.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Not all the water in the rough rude sea
    Can wash the balm off from an anointed king;
    The breath of worldly men cannot depose
    The deputy elected by the Lord.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
