“We didn't build our bridges simply to avoid walking on water. Nothing so obvious. A bridge is a meeting place. A neutral place. A casual place. Enemies will choose to meet on a bridge and end their quarrel in that void... For lovers, a bridge is a possibility, a metaphor of their chances. And for the traffic in whispered goods, where else but a bridge in the night?” EndsNightWaterChanceEnemyPossibilityLoversWalkingMeetingsMetaphorObviousBridgesGoodsVoidTrafficQuarrelsCasualWalking On Water Book:The Passion Source: The Passion
“Manly natural religion - it is not joining the Church; it is not to believe in a creed, Hebrew, Protestant, Catholic, Trinitarian, Unitarian, Nothingarian. It is not to keep Sunday idle; to attend meetings; to be wet with water; to read the Bible; to offer prayers in words; to take bread and wine in the meeting house; love a scape-goat Jesus, or any other theological clap-trap.” BelieveHouseJesusWaterNaturalChurchPrayerAtheismOffersCatholicWineMeetingsPositive AtheismBreadSundayWetCreedsTrapsIdleJoiningTheologicalProtestantsGoatsManlyHebrewUnitarianBread And WineScapes Author:Theodore Parker

“The good news about fresh water is that, even after accounting for the larger volume of water that is unavailable to people from the hydrologic cycle, there is enough on a global scale to support current and anticipated populations on a sustainable basis... Three essential goals are dependable and safe supplies for people, protection and management of the environmental systems through which water moves, and efficient water use. Meeting these goals will require that fresh water not continue to be treated as a free good or as the principal means for disposing of human and industrial wastes.” PeopleHumansMeanEnoughUseMovingThreeGoalWaterSupportSafeEssentialsWasteNewsBasesManagementMeetingsEnvironmentalPopulationCurrentsProtectionScalesTreatedCyclesEfficientPrincipalVolumeGood NewsSuppliesAccountingUsing MeDependableFresh Water Author:Gilbert F.

“I must frankly admit that... I should probably lose all interest in life and would rather not be a German at all.

“While walking in a rapid stream we cannot tread twice in the same water. Neither can we spend twice the same time. When we pass out of that door, the work of this meeting will be closed to us forever. We shall never spend the time of this evening again. Then should we not keep a record of our work, teachings, and counsel.” ShouldWaterForeverRecordsDoorsTeachingWalkingMeetingsEveningStreamsRapids Book:Wilford Woodruff's Journal, 1833-1898: Typescript Source: Wilford Woodruff's Journal, 1833-1898: Typescript
