Quote by American Indian Proverb

No river can return to its source, yet all rivers must have a beginning.

No river can return to its source, yet all rivers must have

Summary

This quote highlights the paradoxical nature of existence. It suggests that while everything in life has a starting point, it is impossible for things to go back to exactly the way they were. Like a river flowing downstream, once an event or experience has occurred, it is a one-way journey towards the unknown future. Just as a river is shaped by its journey, our lives are shaped by the choices and experiences we encounter along the way, with no possibility of fully returning to the innocence and purity of the past.

Americans are willing to go to enormous trouble and expense defending their principles with arms, very little trouble and expense advocating them with words.
