Receives Waters

Famous quotes containing the words receives and/or waters:

    Whenever a mind is simple and receives an old wisdom, old things pass away,—means, teachers, texts, temples fall; it lives now, and absorbs past and future into present hour. All things are made sacred by relation to it,—one as much as another.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    For my desert, I helped myself to a large slice of the Chesuncook woods, and took a hearty draught of its waters with all my senses.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
