I keep sailing on in this middle passage. I am sailing into the wind and the dark. But I am doing my best to keep my boat steady and my sails full.
Arthur Ashe

I missed the boat when I was doing Late Night.
Chris Elliott

I never was really into comics as a child, and I think if you miss the boat when you're a kid, you don't necessarily pick up on it when you're an adult.
Victoria Pratt

I peaked early. I was told I'd missed my boat.
Moon Unit Zappa

I put myself and all the members of Congress in the same boat of things that could have been done better.
John Breaux

I really enjoy writing novels. It's like the ocean. You can just build a boat and take off.
Denis Johnson

I wish that they could have more freedoms to be able to come and play. I know that the only way that they can get out is by, you know, defecting to another country or whatever, or getting on a boat.
Rafael Palmeiro

I would like a man now who is rich, and who can give me a boat - a sailboat. I want to own it and let him pay for it. My first love is the sea and water, not music. Music is second.
Nina Simone

I'm attracted to seeing how different I can be, pushing the boat out.
James D'arcy

I'm not big on Champagne, but I'd take along a bottle of Cristal to pop for when the boat comes to the rescue.
Sam Neill

I'm one of six kids, and the eight of us lived for over a decade in either a bus or a boat.
Paul Farmer

I've met the most interesting people while flying or on a boat. These methods of travel seem to attract the kind of people I want to be with.
Hedy Lamarr

If I were mayor, I'd invite everyone to have free boat trips on the river and free balloon rides over the city. I'd let the elderly in residential homes wander free.
Jane Birkin

If you are in a band like my brother, Rudolf, who is in the Scorpions, then you have a kind of umbrella and you cover each other. You have five people to discuss things with and you are all in the same boat, and therefore make much wiser choices.
Michael Schenker

In my career, people in the record business have been rockin' in the same ol' boat. They all crooks - I'll say it clear and loud - especially the big ones.
John Lee Hooker

In the back of your mind, when you say you want to write music for the movies, you're saying that you want a big house, a big car and a boat. If you just wanted to write music, you could live in Kansas and do it.
Bill Conti

In the German football team players from different clubs need to get on with each other both on and off the pitch. In the grand coalition Christian Democrats and Social Democrats sit in the same boat and need to pull in the same direction.
Angela Merkel

In the United States three new methods of transportation made their appearance at almost the same time - the steamboat, the canal boat, and the rail car.
John Moody

It's easier in some ways being on the life raft and the other guy's in the boat and you can row alongside and be supportive. In some ways, that's an easier role.
Kyra Sedgwick

Let me tell you something: if you're on an island for three and a half months and you're four and a half hours by boat from the nearest store, and there's nobody but 30 crew members on the island, I guarantee that you'd be running around without your clothes on.
