Rivers are roads which move, and which carry us whither we desire to go. 17
--
Note: apparently suggested by a chapter in Rabelais: How we descended in the isle of Odes, in which the roads walk.Blaise Pascal

If we increase freight rates, the goods will move through the roads and the condition of the roads will become worse.
Lalu Prasad Yadav
How many roads there are in the hour of decision! And yet, there is only one road; the others are wrong roads, whether they lead to the place where envy concocts its plans, where grief has its haunts, where the worm of desire does not die, where disconsolateness stares at its loss, where mockery alarms others with its vile wisdom, or where the tongue of slander betrays the abundance of the heart-all these roads lead away, far away, and thought does not even dare to follow them.
Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
If we sell you land, you must remember that it is sacred, and you must teach your children that it is sacred and that the ghostly reflection in the clear water of the lakes tells us events and memories in the life of my people. The water's murmur is the voice of my father's father. The rivers are our brothers, they quench our thirst. The rivers carry our cannoes, feed our children. If we sell our land, you must learn, and teach your children, that the rivers are our brothers, and yours, and you must henceforth give the rivers the kindness you would give any brother.
Chief Seattle
Good roads, canals, and navigable rivers, by diminishing the expence of carriage, put the remote parts of the country more nearly upon a level with with those of the neighbourhood of the town. They are upon that the greatest of all improvements.
Adam Smith
I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.Langston Hughes
