Water: The Elixir

 Given the World Water Day, and given the world wide scarcity of water, the blog today says the minimal: just a few quotations!

2)"Water is the driving force of all nature," asserts Leonardo Da Vinci

3) "Pure water is the world's first and foremost medicine,"says a Slovakian proverb.

4)"Human nature is like water. It takes the shape of the container," argues Wallace Steven.

5) "Water, water, every where,/And all the boards did shrink;/Water, water, every where,/Nor any drop to drink.", wrote S.T.Coleridge.
