Water is the principle, or the element, of things. All things are water.

Thales of Miletus, (born c. 624–620 bce—died c. 548–545 bce), philosopher renowned as one of the legendary Seven Wise Men, of antiquity. He is remembered primarily for his cosmology based on water as the essence of all matter, with Earth a flat disk floating on a vast sea.

Thales' hypotheses were new and bold, and in freeing phenomena from godly intervention, he paved the way towards scientific endeavor. He founded the Milesian school of natural philosophy, developed the scientific method, and initiated the first western enlightenment.

That from which is everything that exists and from which it first becomes and into which it is rendered at last, its substance remaining under it, but transforming in qualities, that they say is the element and principle of things that are.
…For it is necessary that there be some nature, either one or more than one, from which become the other things of the object being saved...
Thales the founder of this type of philosophy says that it is water.
