"There is only one river that goes traveling sidewise, that interferes in politics, rearranges geography and dabbles in real estate; a river that plays hide-and-see with you today, and tomorrow follows you around like a pet dog with a dynamite cracker tied to his tail. That river is the Missouri." Credit George Fitch, The Missouri, Stanley Vestal, 1945 (Rivers of America) | "You can squanch fire but you can't squanch water." Credit Will Rose, The Passing of the Country Store, Scribner's October 1926 |
