“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.”

“You don't need water to feel like you're drowning, do you?”

“Another lesson to be learned, to continue using my oceanographic metaphor, is that while you are swimming and not sinking you should aim for rough water.”

“If you try to breathe water, you will not turn into a fish, you will drown; but water is still good to drink.”

“Some of you are drowning, trying to catch every “next BIG wave”… When had you stayed faithful to the first idea you committed to, you'd be walking on water by now.”

“Sometimes grace works like water wings when you feel you are sinking.”

“A drop of water when you are thirsty gives such relief. The same drop in a fountain inspires you with its beauty. The same water in a dirty drain is repelling. And the same drop in the river makes you want to swim there and take a bath. And when the same water goes in the sea it thrills you with its power.”

“Just because you fall once, doesn't mean you're fall at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always trust yourself, because if you don't then who will??”

“Trusting someone was like holding a little water in your cupped hands - it was so easy to spill the water, and you could never get it back.”

“Don't condemn if you see a person has a dirty glass of water, [….. ] just show them the clean glass of water that you have. When they inspect it, you won't have to say that yours is better.”
