If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people
together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work,
but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the
sea.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather
be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Kahlil Gibran
A book should serve as the ax for the frozen sea within us.
Franz Kafka
Follow the river and you will find the sea.
French Proverb
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the
sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.
John Masefield
Sea Fever.
Voyage upon life's sea,
To yourself be true,
And, whatever your lot may be,
Paddle your own canoe.
Sarah Bolton
Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs. Being purged
a fire sparkling in lovers eyes, being vexed a sea nourished
with lovers tears, What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a perserving sweet.
William Shakespeare
I pass with relief from the tossing sea of cause and theory
to the firm ground of result and fact.
Winston Churchill
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
William Shakespeare
We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream.
Wandering by lone sea breakers, and sitting by desolate streams.
World losers and world forsakers, for whom the pale moon gleams.
Yet we are movers and the shakers of the world forever it seems.
Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy
You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the
water. Don't let yourself indulge in vain wishes.
Rabindranath Tagore
for whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea.
e.e. cummings
maggie and millie andl molly and may.
My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep. The more
I give thee, the more I have, For both are infinite.
William Shakespeare
Wouldst thou" - so the helmsman answered. -
"Learn the secret of the sea?
Only those who brave its dangers
Comprehend its mystery!
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
We are all in the same boat in a stormy sea, and we owe each
other a terrible loyalty.
G. K. Chesterton
God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform. He plants
his footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm.
William Cowper
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest.
We must learn to sail in high winds.
Aristotle Onassis
The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright -
And this was very odd, because it was
The middle of the night.
Lewis Carroll
There isn't any symbolism. The sea is the sea. The old man is
an old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The shark
are all sharks no better and no worse. All the symbolism that
people say is shit. What goes beyond is what you see beyond
when you know.
Ernest Hemingway
A smooth sea never made skilled mariner.
English Proverb
The Bible is God's chart for you to steer by, to keep you from
the bottom of the sea, and to show you where the harbor is,
and how to reach it without running on rocks or bars.
Henry Ward Beecher
There are fish in the sea better than have ever been caught.
Irish Sayings
There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood,
leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is
bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we
now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or
lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds
of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make
not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the
shores of your souls.
Kahlil Gibran
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are
one.
Kahlil Gibran
We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether
it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we
came.
John F. Kennedy
Even Castles made of sand, fall into the sea, eventually.
Jimi Hendrix
It was the Law of the Sea, they said. Civilization ends at the
waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not
always right at the top.
Hunter S. Thompson
The sea pronounces something, over and over, in a hoarse whisper;
I cannot quite make it out.
Annie Dillard
Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs
us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or
scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick
refugees of a long war.
Loren Eiseley
Though inland far we be,
Our souls have sight of that immortal sea
Which brought us hither.
William Wordsworth
Intimations of Immortality.
I find myself at the extremity of a long beach. How gladly does
the spirit leap forth, and suddenly enlarge its sense of being
to the full extent of the broad, blue, sunny deep! A greeting
and a homage to the Sea! I descend over its margin, and dip
my hand into the wave that meets me, and bathe my brow. That
far-resounding roar is the Ocean's voice of welcome. His salt
breath brings a blessing along with it.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Foot-prints on the Sea-shore.
The sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been
the accomplice of human restlessness.
Joseph Conrad
Praise the sea; on shore remain.
John Florio
The great sea makes one a great sceptic.
Richard Jefferies
Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power
to make us think things we like to think.
Robert Henri
I hate to be near the sea, and to hear it raging and roaring
like a wild beast in its den. It puts me in mind of the everlasting
efforts of the human mind, struggling to be free and ending
just where it began.
William Hazlitt
There is nothing so desperately monotonous as the sea, and I
no longer wonder at the cruelty of pirates.
James Russell Lowell
There is indeed, perhaps, no better way to hold communion with
the sea than sitting in the sun on the veranda of a fishermen's
cafe.
Joseph W. Beach
He that will learn to pray, let him go to sea.
George Herbert
The sea hath no king but God alone.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
The White Ship.
To be or not to be that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And, by opposing, end them.
William Shakespeare
Hamlet.
The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave.
Thomas Jefferson
Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the
huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at
the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the
stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.
Saint Augustine
There is nothing quite so good as burial at sea. It is simple,
tidy, and not very incriminating.
Alfred Hitchcock
What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea. It
is something out of his own unique potentiality for experience,
something that never has been and never could have been experienced
by anyone else.
Joseph Campbell |
