It's not true that lakes always need a river outlet. Endorheic lakes (like the Caspian Sea, for example) lose water exclusively through evaporation or disappearing underground. Everything else sounds correct though. Would have been interesting to mention how rivers tend to converge and almost never diverge, or how they meander, forming oxbow lakes.

Of course there's always an exception to the rule--even in nature. Thanks for the feedback.
Rivers are often of great cultural importance, as a boundary or the veins of civilisation.
Very true. The first river that comes to mind is the Columbia River that separates Oregon and Washington.
