George Eliot

Life, Past, Nothing

Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything - even mountains, rivers, plants and trees - should be your teacher.
Morihei Ueshiba

Teacher, Wise, Everything

A truer image of the world, I think, is obtained by picturing things as entering into the stream of time from an eternal world outside, than from a view which regards time as the devouring tyrant of all that is.
Bertrand Russell

Time, View, Image

Good, Girl, Feeling

Donald Rumsfeld

Number, Middle, Lawyers

William Shatner

Dreams, Time, Pain

Jimmy Carter

Life, Peace, Blessings

With the never-ending stream of new social technologies, apps and platforms rolling out every day, its easy to get lost in the minutiae of social media. Yet for there to be effective change, especially within large, top-down, hierarchical institutions, a company must have an over-arching understanding of the new role it has to play.
Simon Mainwaring

Change, Lost, Play

Just as it is true that a stream cannot rise above its source, so it is true that a national literature cannot rise above the moral level of the social conditions of the people from whom it derives its inspiration.
James Connolly

True, Cannot, Moral

Giacomo Casanova

Life, Eyes, Before

Richard Branson

Strong, Whatever, Once

No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.
Harry Emerson Fosdick

Life, Great, Power

We stand our best chance of leaving a legacy to those who want to learn, our children, by standing firm. In matters of style, hey, swing with the stream. But in matters of principle, you need to stand like a rock.
Kevin Costner

Best, Rock, Children

In every age there has been a stream of popular opinion that has carried all before it, and given a family character, as it were, to the century.

Shimon Peres

Against, Language, Started
