When pride thaws, look for floods. [ Bailey ]

Great floods have flown From simple sources. [ William Shakespeare ]

Gradual sinks the breeze,
Into a perfect calm; that not a breath
I heard to quiver thro' the closing woods,
Or rustling turn the many twinkling leaves,
Of aspen tall. The uncurling floods diffused?
In glassy breadth, seen through delusive lapse
Forgetful of their course. 'Tis silence all.
And pleasing expectation. [ Thomson ]

The winds of winter wailing through the woods;
The mighty laughter of the vernal floods. [ Abraham Coles ]

Great floods have flown
From simple sources, and great seas have dried
When miracles have by the greatest been denied. [ William Shakespeare ]

Passions are likened best to floods and streams;
The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb. [ Sir Walter Raleigh ]

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. [ Bible ]

Love is strong as death. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. [ Bible ]

Fowls, by winter forced, forsake the floods, and wing their hasty flight to happier lands. [ Dryden ]

Her hair down-gushing in an armful flows, And floods her ivory neck, and glitters as she goes. [ Allan Cunningham ]

Genius is intensity of life; an overflowing vitality which floods and fertilizes a continent or a hemisphere of being; which makes a nature many-sided and whole, while most men remain partial and fragmentary. [ Hamilton W. Mabie ]

He only is great of heart who floods the world with a great affection. He only is great of mind who stirs the world with great thoughts. He only is great of will who does something to shape the world to a great career; and he is greatest who does the most of all these things, and does them best. [ R. D. Hitchcock ]
