• El amor es el río de la vida en este mundo. No penséis que lo conocéis quienes estáis junto al pequeño riachuelo tintineante, la primera pequeña fuente. No hasta que hayáis atravesado los desfiladeros rocosos, y no hayáis perdido la corriente; no hasta que hayáis atravesado la pradera, y la corriente se haya ensanchado y profundizado hasta que flotas puedan cabalgar en su seno; no hasta que más allá de la pradera hayáis llegado al insondable océano, y hayáis vertido vuestros tesoros en sus profundidades: no hasta entonces podréis saber lo que es el amor.

  Henry Ward Beecher

• The pride of ancestry is a superstructure of the most imposing height, but resting on the most flimsy foundation. It is ridiculous enough to observe the hauteur with which the old nobility look down on the new. The reason of this puzzled me a little, until I began to reflect that most titles are respectable only because they are old; if new, they would be despised, because all those who now admire the grandeur of the stream would see nothing but the impurity of the source.

• On rolls the stream with a perpetual sigh;
  The rocks moan wildly as it passes by;
  Hyssop and wormwood border all the strand,
  And not a flower adorns the dreary land.

• Oh, river! darkling river! what a voice
  Is that thou utterest while all else is still--
  The ancient voice that, centuries ago,
  Sounded between thy hills, while Rome was yet
  A weedy solitude by Tiber's stream!

  William C. Bryant

• Lo! while we are gazing, in swifter haste
  Stream down the snows, till the air is white,
  As, myriads by myriads madly chased,
  They fling themselves from their shadowy height.
  The fair, frail creatures of middle sky,
  What speed they make, with their grave so nigh;
  Flake after flake,
  To lie in the dark and silent lake!

  William C. Bryant

• Happy the life, that in a peaceful stream,
  Obscure, unnoticed through the vale has flow'd;
  The heart that ne'er was charm'd by fortune's gleam
  Is ever sweet contentment's blest abode.

• The stream of thought flows on; but most of its segments fall into the bottomless abyss of oblivion. Of some, no memory survives the instant of their passage. Of others, it is confined to a few moments, hours or days. Others, again, leave vestiges which are indestructible, and by means of which they may be recalled as long as life endures.

• El paso de los años es como un río que arrastra a la gente. Algunos son arrastrados, protestando, luchando todo el tiempo, tratando de nadar de vuelta a la corriente, añorando las orillas que han dejado atrás, agarrándose a cualquier cosa que pueda retrasar su avance, asustados por el avance de la fuerte corriente y en peligro de ser arrollados por las aguas. Otros se dejan llevar libremente por la corriente, confiando en la flotabilidad del agua.

  And in their perilous fall shall thunder, God!
