Fish cannot drown in water. Birds cannot sink in air. This has God given to all creatures, to foster and seek their own nature. How then can I withstand mine?

Mechthild of Magdeburg

Great is truth. Fire cannot burn it nor water drown it.

Alexandre Dumas

Can one drown in one's element... If fish can drown in water, can human beings suffocate in air?

Salman Rushdie

It is a strange paradox: Humans drown in the water, fish drown in the land.

Javad Alizadeh

Just as a man cannot live in the flesh unless he is born in the flesh, even so a man cannot have the spiritual life of grace unless he is born again spiritually. This regeneration is effected by Baptism: "Unless a man is born again of water and the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (Jn 3:5)

Thomas Aquinas

Take the case of the infinite ocean. There is no limit to its water. Suppose a pot is immersed in it: there is water both inside and outside the pot. The jnani sees that both inside and outside there is nothing but Paramatman. Then what is this pot? It is 'I-consciousness'. Because of the pot the water appears to be divided into two parts; because of the pot you seem to perceive an inside and an outside. One feels that way as long as this pot of 'I' exists. When the 'I' disappears, what is remains. That cannot be described in words.

Ramakrishna

You don't drown by falling into water. You only drown if you stay there.

Zig Ziglar

You don't drown by falling in water. You only drown if you stay there.

Zig Ziglar

Just as a fisherman cannot catch fish unless his line is in the water, a wildlife photographer cannot shoot great wildlife images unless he or she is out there with camera in hand and the knowledge of what to do then the 'magnificent moment' occurs.

George H. Harrison

Fresh, clean water cannot be taken for granted. And it is not - water is political, and litigious. Transporting water is impractical for both political and physical reasons, so buying up water rights did not make a lot of sense to me, unless I was pursuing a greater fool theory of investment - which was not my intention.

Michael Burry

You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.

Edwin Louis Cole

Christians should live in the world, but not be filled with it. A ship lives in the water; but if the water gets into the ship, she goes to the bottom. So Christians may live in the world; but if the world gets into them, they sink.

Dwight L. Moody

If pain were water, the world would drown

Dennis Prager

Jesus, our head, is already in heaven; and if the head be above water, the body cannot drown.

John Flavel

For how can a man stand, unless he have something sure under his feet. Can a man tread the unstable water all his life, and call that standing? Better give in and drown at once.
