Chance will not do the work. Chance sends the breeze; But if the pilot slumber at the helm, The very wind that wafts us tow'rds the port May dash us on the shoals. The steersman's part Is vigilance, or blow it rough or smooth.
The boat is safer anchored at the port; but that’s not the aim of boats.
We came from the sea originally, now we're going back in it. Don't go in it, unless you're in a boat.
In the road ships must ride in 30, 40, or 50 fathom water, not above half a mile from the shore at farthest: and if there are many ships they must ride close one by another.
To be anywhere near an enormous ocean liner when you are just like a fish in the water is frightening.
There's not a sea the passenger e'er pukes in, Turns up more dangerous breakers than the Euxine.
But if I hadn't shoved you off the boat back there,you'd be lost at sea now,wouldn't you? We'd all be lost! So thanks to me you're all standing on land." (Pirates, its a good thing they're idiots)
