When life seems like an uphill task do not ever give up on yourself or on life! Travel to a new place, learn a new language, embrace a new culture, play a musical instrument, read a good book, watch the sunrise, experience the sunset, go for a swim in the river, hug a tree, sit near the lake, or climb a mountain! You will fall in love with life all over again!

The wise are like a river; they go forward and upward, never backward or downward.

Learn from a river; obstacles may force it to change its course, but never its destination.

If you pour more water into a river, it will not drown the fish.

The greater the number of fish a river bears the greater the number of fishermen that patronize it.

A river continues to flow despite losing a few drops at each turn.

The further you venture down a river the bigger the fish.

It is only safe to mock a crocodile when you have crossed the river.

It is never a river’s fault that one cannot swim.

If the sun shone for itself, it would be blinded by its own light; if a river flowed for itself, it would be drowned by its own weight.

You cannot control the ocean, but you can guide the rivers that feed it.

A small boat that sails the river is better than a large ship that sinks in the sea.

Water is sagacious because it carries inside of itself the bottomless profundity of oceans, the cosmic looks of the clouds, subtle wits of the rivers, the inquisitive character of the rains and the silent meditation of the little lakes!
