The thirsty earth soaks up the rain, / And drinks, and gapes for drink again.

I ride rough waters and shall sink with no one to save me.

I drink for the thirst to come.

Every fool becomes a philosopher after ten days of rain.

Thousands have lived without love, not one without water.

Water is the first principle of everything.

Till taught by pain, / Men really know not what good water’s worth.

The history of the land has been written very largely in water.

All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was.

Seek not water, only show you are thirsty, / That water may spring up all around you.

A fool and water will go the way they are diverted.

I came upon no wine, / So wonderful as thirst.

Best is water.
