The Best Peaceful Waterfall Quotes

If you’ve ever stood next to a waterfall, you’ll know how peaceful it can get.

However the constant flow of water can bring up a sense of peace, similar in a way to waves hitting the shore.

   But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
   Between two waves of the sea.” T.S. Eliot
