Rex Hudler, quoted in 'Sports Illustrated'
Thought is the fountain of speech.
Chrysippus (280 BC - 207 BC)
Talk not of wasted affection, affection never was wasted,
If it enrich not the heart of another, its waters returning
Back to their springs, like the rain shall fill them full of refreshment;
That which the fountain sends forth returns again to the fountain.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
Of writing well the source and fountainhead is wise thinking.
Horace (65 BC - 8 BC)
A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.
Washington Irving (1783 - 1859)
Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.

In the late 19th century Evanston, Illinois, nicknamed "Heavenston" by Frances Willard, was a Methodist-minded town, so pious that the town fathers, resenting the dissipating influence of the soda fountain, passed an ordinance forbidding the sale of ice cream sodas on Sunday. Some ingenious confectioners, obeying the law, served ice cream with syrup but no soda. This sodaless soda was the Sunday soda, and became so popular that orders for "Sundays" crossed the counter everyday of the week. When objection was raised to christening the dish after the Sabbath, the spelling was changed to Sundae, and so developed one of America's most characteristic dishes.
William Lyon Phelps
In the desert a fountain is springing,
In the wide waste there still is a tree,
And a bird in the solitude singing,
Which speaks to my spirit of thee.
Lord Byron (1788 - 1824), Stanzas to Augusta
Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain.
John Locke (1632 - 1704)
Of writing well the source and fountainhead is wise thinking.
Horace (65 BC - 8 BC)
Don’t go chasin’ waterfalls. Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to.
TLC, Waterfalls
Let tears flow of their own accord: their flowing is not inconsistent with inward peace and harmony.
Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
The law is not so much carved in stone as it is written in water, flowing in and out with the tide.
Jeff Melvoin, Northern Exposure, Crime and Punishment, 1992
You could not step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.
Heraclitus (540 BC - 480 BC), On the Universe
You could not step twice into the same rivers; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.
Heraclitus of Ephesus
The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green.
Thomas Calyle
A wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can from a mountain top .

... Nature, whose sweet rains fall of just and unjust alike, will have clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence I may weep undetected. She will hang the night with stars so that I may walk abroad in the darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my footprints so that none may track me to my hurt: she will cleanse me in great waters, and with bitter herbs make me whole. Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900), "De Profundis"
Surely your gladness need not be the less for the thought that you will one day see a brighter dawn than this - when lovelier sights will meet your eyes than any waving trees or rippling waters - when angel-hands shall undraw your curtains, and sweeter tones than ever loving Mother breathed shall wake you to a new and glorious day - and when all the sadness, and the sin, that darkened life on this little earth, shall be forgotten like the dreams of a night that is past!
Lewis Carroll (1832 - 1898)
Antagonizing people when you don't have to is like casting your garbage on the waters. One day it may come floating back, smelling worse.
Dick Francis, Rat Race
People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned.
James Baldwin (1924 - 1987)
