For just as the rain and the snow pour down from heaven And do not return there until they saturate the earth, making it produce and sprout, Giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So my word that goes out of my mouth will be. It will not return to me without results, But it will certainly accomplish whatever is my delight, And it will have sure success in what I send it to do. ~ Isaiah 55:10-11
Be still, sad heart, and cease repining;
Behind the clouds the sun is shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Rain is liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and then becomes heavy enough to fall under gravity.

Quotes[edit]

  • A little rain will fill
    The lily's cup which hardly moists the field.
  • Jack Harkness: There you go! I can taste it! Oestrogen. Definitely oestrogen. Take the pill, flush it away, it enters the water cycle. Feminizes the fish.

  • Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
    they tell you that this rain can sting, and look down
    there is no blood around see no sign of pain
    hay ay ay no pain
    seeing no red at all, see no rain.
  • For just as the rain and the snow pour down from heaven And do not return there until they saturate the earth, making it produce and sprout, Giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So my word that goes out of my mouth will be. It will not return to me without results, But it will certainly accomplish whatever is my delight, And it will have sure success in what I send it to do.
  • Have you noticed that the rain stopped the instant I had a roof above me? It will start again now that I'm back out. Gods and dogs alike delight to piss on me.
  • The Clouds consign their treasures to the fields;
    And, softly shaking on the dimpled pool
    Prelusive drops; let all their moisture flow,
    In large effusion, o'er the freshen'd world.
  • For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
    • Matthew 5:45

    Shrunk in the wind,—and the lightning now
    Is tangled in tremulous skeins of rain.

    In a never-ending sheet!
    How it drives beneath the doors!
    How it soaks the passer's feet!
    How it rattles on the shutter!
    How it rumples up the lawn!
    How 'twill sigh, and moan, and mutter,
    From darkness until dawn.
  • Be still, sad heart, and cease repining;
    Behind the clouds the sun is shining;
    Thy fate is the common fate of all,
    Into each life some rain must fall,
    Some days must be dark and dreary.

    Wild flowers on distant hills.
