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

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

The poet's pen is the true divining rod
Which trembles towards the inner founts of feeling;
Bringing to light and use, else hid from all.
The many sweet clear sources which we have
Of good and beauty in our own deep bosoms;
And marks the variations of all mind
As does the needle. [ Bailey ]

Beauty and health are the chief sources of happiness. [ Beaconsfield ]

The two sources of all quack-talent are cunning and impudence. [ Carlyle ]

Beauty comes, we scarce know how, as an emanation from sources deeper than itself. [ Shairp ]

Unity and simplicity are the two true sources of beauty. Supreme beauty resides in God. [ Winckelmann ]

That is fine benevolence, finely executed, which, like the Nile, comes from hidden sources. [ Colton ]

Perfect taste is the faculty of receiving the greatest possible pleasure from those material sources which are attractive to our moral nature in its purity and perfection. [ Ruskin ]

Men cannot labor on always. They must have intervals of relaxation. They cannot sleep through these interTafs. What are they to do? Why, if they do not work or sleep, they must have recreation. And if they have not recreation from healthful sources, they will be very likely to take it from the poisoned fountains of intemperance. Or, if they have pleasures, which, though innocent, are forbidden by the maxims of public morality, their very pleasures are liable to become poisoned fountains. [ Orville Dewey ]
