An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON WATER
When the water of a place is bad it is safest to drink none that has not been filtered through either the berry of a grape, or else a tub of malt. These are the most reliable filters yet invented.
Samuel Butler (1612-1680, British poet, satirist)
A pool is, for many of us in the West, a symbol not of affluence but of order, of control over the uncontrollable. A pool is water, made available and useful, and is, as such, infinitely soothing to the western eye.
Joan Didion (1934-, American essayist)
I never drink water. I'm afraid it will become habit-forming.
W. C. Fields (1879-1946, American actor)
I never drink water; that is the stuff that rusts pipes.
W. C. Fields (1879-1946, American actor)
In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong nothing can surpass it.
Lao-Tzu (BC 600-?, Chinese philosopher, founder of Taoism)
Don't pour away your water due to a mirage.
Arabian Proverb (Sayings of Arabian origin)
