Where water is shallow no boat will ride. [ Proverb ]

Till taught by pain,
Men really know not what good water's worth:

Or with a famish'd boat's crew had your berth,
Or in the desert heard the camel's bell,
You'd wish yourself where truth is - in a well. [ Byron ]

The foolishest book is a kind of leaky boat on a sea of wisdom; some of the wisdom will get in, anyhow. [ Oliver Wendell Holmes ]

God made man to go by motives, and he will not go without them, any more than a boat without steam, or a balloon without gas. [ Beecher ]
