My friend Rich Schrader of River Source is looking for some good quotes on water. Here's some links I've found and a few quotes that stood out to as speaking to the themes we spoke about.

• Quotes on Water
• Environmental Quotations from the National Park System/Wild and Scenic Rivers web site.

"When we save a river, we save a major part of an ecosystem, and we save ourselves as well because of our dependence--physical, economic, spiritual,--on the water and its community of life." - Tim Palmer, - The Wild and Scenic Rivers of America

"Water is the most critical resource issue of our lifetime and our children's lifetime. The health of our waters is the principal measure of how we live on the land." - Luna Leopold, Hydrologist

"The rivers are our brothers. They quench our thirst. The rivers carry our canoes, and feed our children. If we sell you our land, you must remember, 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." - Suquamish Chief Sealth - 1854
