While the river of life glides along smoothly, it remains the same river; only the landscape on either bank seems to change.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The river flows at its own sweet will, but the flood is bound in the two banks. If it were not thus bound, its freedom would be wasted.
It is only in appearance that time is a river. It is rather a vast landscape and it is the eye of the beholder that moves.
What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt - it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn't want to go anywhere else.
You cannot step into the same river twice.
The river is constantly turning and bending and you never know where it's going to go and where you'll wind up. Following the bend in the river and staying on your own path means that you are on the right track. Don't let anyone deter you from that.
I am an intelligent river which has reflected successively all the banks before which it has flowed by meditating only on the images offered by those changing shores.
No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
You could not step twice into the same rivers; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.
Movements are like rivers. Dipping into them is never the same twice.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
