The Stone of Guilt in the River of the Mind, the block in the flow of intelligence.
Swami Nithyananda
Image
During your life, everything you do and everyone you meet rubs off in some way. Some bit of everything you experience stays with everyone you've ever known, and nothing is lost. That's what is eternal, these little specks of experience in a great, enormous river that has no end.
Harriet Doerr
Image
A river finds its course with sureness, pushing aside whatever surface matter lies in its way, and as it gathers volume and resulting strength, nothing can withstand its progress. It carves canyons, moves great boulders, erodes the soil, moving insistently onward in its surging need to reach its final goal - the ocean.
Laura Gilpin

You do not really care for God's mercy or His comfort either, so long as you live in any sin. And it is well that you do not for you can have neither. Your peace will be like a river, when you put away your sin but not one word of true peace, not one drop of true comfort, can you have till then.

Woman, thou art a river, deep and wide, Of waters soft and sweet: Alas! I've never reached the other side Though oft I've wet my feet!
William Batchelder Greene

The vanity of human life is like a river, constantly passing away, and yet constantly coming on.
Alexander Pope

Everything is change and you cannot step twice into the same river.
Mary Renault

Gently - so have good men taught - Gently, and without grief, the old shall glide Into the new the eternal flow of things, Like a bright river of the fields of heaven, Shall journey onward in perpetual peace.
William C. Bryant
Image
I knew the whistle of each of the river boats on the Tennessee.
William Christopher Handy
Image
Fame, like the river, is narrowest where it is bred, and broadest afar off.
William Davenant
Image
Swimming for his life, a man does not see much of the country through which the river winds.
William E. Gladstone
Image
All my clear-eyed fish, Golden, or rainbow-sided, or purplish, Vermilion-tail'd, or finn'd with silvery gauze... My charming rod, my potent river spells.
John Keats
Image
If you leave the pool you have dug for yourself and go out into the river of life then life has an astonishing way of taking care of you, because then there is no taking care on your part.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
The street is the river of life of the city, the place where we come together, the pathway to the center.
William H. Whyte
Image
I know a painting so evanescent that it is seldom viewed at all except by some wandering deer. It is a river who wields the brush and it is the same river who before I can bring my friends to view his work erases it forever from human view. After that it exists only in my mind's eye.
Aldo Leopold
Image
I had the Big Horn river explored from Wind River mountain to my place of embarkation.
William Henry Ashley

I wish I had a river I could skate away on?
Joni Mitchell
Image
Therapy is the boat across the river, but most don't want to get off. Don't blame, forgive, All healing is self-healing
Albert Schweitzer

Breakups usually don't happen down by the river with beautiful lighting. The moment you realize your relationship may be over might happen in Aisle 11 of Rite-Aid and the person you're with has disregarded your feelings and your needs by bringing you the wrong toothbrush again for the fourth time.
Jay Duplass
Image
I have not been on any river that has more of a distinctive personality than does the Missouri River. It's a river that immediately presents to the traveler, 'I am a grandfather spirit. I have a source I have a life.
William Least Heat-Moon
Image
The soul of the river had entered my soul, And the gathered power of my soul was moving So swiftly, it seemed to be at rest Under cities of cloud and under Spheres of silver and changing worlds Until I saw a flash of trumpets Above the battlements over Time!
Edgar Lee Masters
Image
It was thought, perception, sensations that interested her, the conscious mind as a river through time, and how to represent its onward roll, as well as all the tributaries that would swell it, and the obstacles that would divert it. If only she could reproduce the clear light of a summer's morning.
Ian Mcewan
Image
When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can't eat money.
