Flood Waters

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or waters:

    The great war that broke so suddenly upon the world two years ago, and which has swept up within its flame so great a part of the civilized world, has affected us very profoundly.... With its causes and its objects we are not concerned. The obscure fountains from which its stupendous flood has burst we are not interested to search for or explore.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    They that goe downe to ‘th sea in ships:
    Their busines there to doo
    In waters great. The Lords work see,
    I’th deep his wonders too.
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm CVII (Bay Psalm Book)
