Walking on water is easy if you know where to step.

I’m basically a know-it-all, and I’m writing a book about it. I want it to be called ‘Danson on Water’ and have me on the cover in this Christlike pose, standing on the water.

The tree that is beside the running water is fresher and gives more fruit.

You probably have to have redundant levee systems with canals in between them, like the Dutch have, to make sure that incoming water is channeled off to areas where you deal with it rather than...

Water seeks its own level. Look at them. The Tigris, the Euphrates, the Mississippi, the Amazon, the Yangtze. The world’s great rivers. And every one of them finds its way to the ocean.

If we come from the water, I conclude that we come from different kinds of it. I will meet a person and in his eyes see an ocean, deep and never ending; then I will...
