    The Most Beautiful Substance in the World

    May the stars compare you to glittering gold

    I'm sure you're nothing but water

    Washing others despite allowing stains on you

    You are water

    -

    May the stars compare you to lofty cloud

    Flowing down to the lowliness

    Coming to be Sea, the greatest

    You are water

    -

    May the stars compare you to haughty diamond

    Sinking the tough and proud into abyss

    Floating the weary and humble above you

    You are water

    -

    Round in the round bowl

    Square in the square pot

    Solid ice against freezing adversities

    Self-purified vapour against fiery trials

    -

    You are nothing but water

    Nanthan,

    I googled after I read your post. I never know Bruce's quote. It's interesting that Bruce Lee said it.

    I guess all these water-related thinking were inspired by old Lao-tzu's saying.
