Water Saving Basins

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or saving:

    Reasoning with a drunkard is like
    Going under water with a torch to seek for a drowning man.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)

    Oh that my Pow’r to Saving were confin’d:
    Why am I forc’d, like Heav’n, against my mind,
    To make Examples of another Kind?
    Must I at length the Sword of Justice draw?
    Oh curst Effects of necessary Law!
    How ill my Fear they by my Mercy scan,
    Beware the Fury of a Patient Man.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
