Happy Weltwassertag! Happy World Water Day!

A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Durst macht aus Wasser Wein.

My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
Mitch Hedberg

Es ist schade, daß es keine Sünde ist, Wasser zu trinken, rief ein Italiener, wie gut würde es schmecken.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Our world is one of terrible contradictions. Plenty of food, but one billion people go hungry. Lavish lifestyles for a few, but poverty for too many others. Huge advances in medicine while mothers die every day in childbirth, and children die every day from drinking dirty water. Billions spent on weapons to kill people instead of keeping them safe.
Ban Ki-moon

Eigentlich gibt es kaum etwas Schöneres auf Erden als Durst, den man stillen kann. Drei Tage Wüste ohne Getränke und dann einen Eimer Wasser, das ist der Himmel auf Erden.
Thomas Edward Lawrence 

Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.
Christopher Morley

Das Prinzip aller Dinge ist Wasser; aus Wasser ist alles, und ins Wasser kehrt alles zurück.
Thales von Milet 

I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me - like food or water.
Ray Charles

Wie freut sich das Wasser, wenn es im Gedicht den Berg hochfließen darf!
Manfred Hinrich

Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.
B. R. Ambedkar

Ozean - längster Longdrink.
Erhard Horst Bellermann

Water is the driving force of all nature.
Leonardo da Vinci

So wie das Eisen außer Gebrauch rostet und das still stehende Wasser verdirbt oder bei Kälte gefriert, so verkommt der Geist ohne Übung.
Leonardo da Vinci

Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth... these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and women's empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all.
Ban Ki-moon

Die Welt ist voller Leute, die Wasser predigen und Wein trinken.
Giovanni Guareschi 

Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do - they all contain truths.
Muhammad Ali

Eines Tages schwimmt die Wahrheit doch nach oben. Als Wasserleiche.
Wieslaw Brudzinski

Thousands have lived without love, not one without water.
W. H. Auden

Auch Quellen und Brunnen versiegen, wenn man zu oft und zu viel aus ihnen schöpft.
Demosthenes

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.
Alan Watts

Die Gesellschaft ist eine Welle. Sie selbst bewegt sich vorwärts, nicht aber das Wasser, woraus sie besteht.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

My friends and family are my support system. They tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear and they are there for me in the good and bad times. Without them I have no idea where I would be and I know that their love for me is what's keeping my head above the water.
Kelly Clarkson

Alles ist aus dem Wasser entsprungen! Alles wird durch das Wasser erhalten! Ozean, gönn uns dein ewiges Walten! 
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
Rabindranath Tagore

Wenn sanftes Wasser gefriert, kann es Felsen sprengen. 
Peter Hintze

This life is like a swimming pool. You dive into the water, but you can't see how deep it is.
Dennis Rodman

Ein Stück Schwarzbrot und ein Krug Wasser stillen den Hunger eines jeden Menschen; aber unsere Kultur hat die Gastronomie erschaffen.
Honoré de Balzac

The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.
Isak Dinesen

Ich weiß, sie tranken heimlich Wein und predigten öffentlich Wasser.
Heinrich Heine

I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it.
W. C. Fields

Und wer unter Menschen nicht verschmachten will, muss lernen, aus allen Gläsern zu trinken; und wer unter Menschen rein bleiben will, muss verstehn, sich auch mit schmutzigem Wasser zu waschen.
Friedrich Nietzsche

The sky broke like an egg into full sunset and the water caught fire.
Pamela Hansford Johnson

Zeit ist ein Gesicht auf dem Wasser.
Stephen King

No water, no life. No blue, no green.
Sylvia Earle

Es ist unmöglich, zweimal in denselben Fluss zu springen. Auch wenn wir in dieselben Flüsse steigen, fließt immer anderes Wasser herbei.
Heraklit

Jazz is smooth and cool. Jazz is rage. Jazz flows like water. Jazz never seems to begin or end. Jazz isn't methodical, but jazz isn't messy either. Jazz is a conversation, a give and take. Jazz is the connection and communication between musicians. Jazz is abandon.
Nat Wolff

Die Weisen erfreuen sich am Wasser.
Konfuzius

The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear; the great truth has great silence.
Rabindranath Tagore

Bei einem Fluss ist das Wasser, das man berührt, das letzte von dem, was vorübergeströmt ist, und das erste von dem, was kommt. So ist es auch mit der Gegenwart.
Leonardo da Vinci

I wasn't a jock in school, and by the 10th grade, when I was in boarding school I was carrying water buckets for the girls' hockey team. I was the kid with long hair and glasses and acne trying to learn how to play guitar and piano in the music center. I was not an athlete past the age of 13 or 14 when they start throwing the ball really fast.
Michael Weatherly

Alles ist aus dem Wasser entsprungen! Alles wird durch das Wasser erhalten! Ozean, schenk uns dein ewiges Walten!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Climate change is a global problem. The planet is warming because of the growing level of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity. If this trend continues, truly catastrophic consequences are likely to ensue from rising sea levels, to reduced water availability, to more heat waves and fires.
Malcolm Turnbull

Man kann die Erkenntnisse der Medizin auf eine knappe Formel bringen: Wasser mäßig genossen, ist unschädlich.
Mark Twain

A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.
Swami Sivananda

Du kannst keinen Ozean überqueren, in dem du einfach nur aufs Wasser starrst.
Tagore

I had a very simple, unremarkable and happy life. And I grew up in a very small town. And so my life was made up of, you know, in the morning going to the river to fetch water - no tap water, and no electricity - and, you know, bathing in the river, and then going to school, and playing soccer afterwards.
Ishmael Beah

Die Erde ist ein gebildeter Stern mit sehr viel Wasserspülung.
Erich Kästner

Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are God. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are God.
Christopher Hitchens

Es ist gewiss was Schönes dran,
Am Element, dem nassen,
Weil man das Wasser trinken kann!
Man kann's aber auch lassen!
Heinz Erhard
