Drown Quotations
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Steve Jobs
If one synchronised swimmer drowns, do all the rest have to drown too?
Steven Wright
Drown in a cold vat of whiskey? Death, where is thy sting?
W. C. Fields
You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.
Paulo Coelho

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.
Alan Watts
I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim, and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good feeling.
