Ralph Waldo Emerson

« All quotes from this author
 

It is time to be old,
To take in sail: -
The god of bounds,
Who sets to seas a shore,
Came to me in his fatal rounds,
And said: 'No more!
--
Terminus.

Okkervil River
 

How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?

 
Bob Dylan
 

The mind is like a sea, few are those who dare sail, most stand on the shore and watch. Artist pages. (A.S.)

 
Avner Strauss
 

The Liner she's a lady, an' she never looks nor 'eeds—
The Man-o'-War's 'er 'usband, an' 'e gives 'er all she needs;
But, oh, the little cargo-boats, that sail the wet seas roun',
They're just the same as you an' me a-plyin' up an' down!

 
Rudyard Kipling
 

For me, my craft is sailing on,
Through mists to-day, clear seas anon.
Whate’er the final harbor be
’T is good to sail upon the sea!
