But if people want to swim in the Thames, if they want to take their lives into their own hands, then they should be able to do so with all the freedom and exhilaration of our woad-painted ancestors.

The Bible is so deep! As the 6th-century church father Gregory put it: Scripture is like a river...shallow enough...for the lamb to go wading, but deep enough...for the elephant to swim. It's humbling to be involved in projects that make the riches of the Bible accessible to Bible teachers and students.

I make no apology about stirring the depths - every human longs to swim under water and see what lurks beneath
John J. Geddes

If people want insights, if they want to swim in the currents of their own time and share the experiences of their time, then it makes sense to engage with the artists of one's own time.

I swam at school a lot. Long-distance swimming in pools, and diving, then when we moved to Hastings when I was 13 I used to swim in the sea all the time I loved it out of season and when it was rough.

I won't swim in a pool by myself, because I think that somehow a little magic door is going to open up and let a shark out.

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra. The question isn't who is going to let me it's who is going to stop me you don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step the man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.

I love improvisation. You can't blame it on the writers. You can't blame it on direction. You can't blame it on the camera guy... It's you. You're on. You've got to do it, and you either sink or swim with what you've got.
Jonathan Winters

Our strength comes from that magic, from the earth and the sky, from the fire and the water. Fly high, swim deep, give back to the earth what she gives you.

But I think sometimes a person has to be forced underwater to see if they're going to drown or swim.

T.S. Eliot, who learned to swim at the same beach as I did, just threw in the towel and moved to Cheyne Walk. I'm not going to do that but I'm not scared of the open channel between me and Britain.

There were several things a Yale freshman was supposed to be able to do. You had to demonstrate in the Olympic-size Yale pool that you could swim 50 yards or be inducted into swimming class.

To get ready to climb Everest, I did a lot of hill running with a daypack on and a lot of underwater swimming. I would swim a couple of lengths underwater and then a couple above. It gets your body going with limited oxygen.

The only use for a knife during a shark attack is pure treachery: Stab your buddy, swim like hell, and hope the munchies take him.

If I didn't swim my best, I'd think about it at school, at dinner, with my friends. It would drive me crazy.
Michael Phelps

I think there is more creative freedom as a solo artist by far because you might get a group push back on an idea because it's more of a democratic process. You can sink or swim on your own ideas on a solo project.

You fish, swim, eat, laze around, and everyone's so friendly. It's such simple stuff, but... If i could stop the world and restart life, put the clock back, i think I'd restart it like this. For everyone.

Keep thy hook always baited, for a fish lurks even in the most unlikely swim.

I feel like Aaron brings out the best in me

I can jump ship and swim-- that the ocean will hold me, that there's got to be more than this boat I'm in.

I like fish, chirruped Tunstell. Really, Mr. Tunstell? What is your preferred breed? Well--Tunstell hesitated--you know, the um, ones that--he made a swooping motion with both hands--uh, swim.
