Love's boat has been shattered against the life of everyday. You and I are quits, and it's useless to draw up a list of mutual hurts, sorrows, and pains.
Vladimir Mayakovsky

More live recording. I have missed the boat over my career by not doing every second or third CD live because things happen onstage that don't happen in the studio.
Al Jarreau

My little dog, he did not get ill. It is so funny that people get ill on a boat and dogs do not.
Anna Held

My Mom said she learned how to swim when someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. I said, 'Mom, they weren't trying to teach you how to swim.'
Paula Poundstone

My penalty for rocking the boat was being traded.
Ted Lindsay

My philosophy was, if I just do good work, someone will like it enough to employ me. It never made me famous. And I'm way, way too old now, mate. That boat's sailed.
Ian Hart

Often it does seem a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.
Mark Twain

Oh yeah - I watched Knife in the Water, saw the shot, and repeated it. But even if I hadn't seen that film, inevitably the camera would've ended up on top of that mast, I mean if you think of it there are only so many dynamic shots on a boat.
Phillip Noyce

On embarking to return we could perceive no sign of One Tree Island; and as we swept down towards the sea the leafy top of a tree seen in the clear water under the boat was the only evidence of its existence; though a few hours ago it had formed so prominent an object.
George Grey

Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Preacher is a book that somehow allows me time by its settling on it's characters, that sort of modern gothic western feel. You're not likely to see the boat veering too far from that.
Garth Ennis

Reaction - a boat which is going against the current but which does not prevent the river from flowing on.
Victor Hugo

Warren Buffett

Slowly, but with no doubt or hesitation whatever, and in something of a solemn expectancy, the two animals passed through the broken tumultuous water and moored their boat at the flowery margin of the island.
Kenneth Grahame

Such is the human race, often it seems a pity that Noah... didn't miss the boat.
Mark Twain

The courts cannot garnish a father's salary, nor freeze his account, nor seize his property on behalf of his children, in our society. Apparently this is because a kid is not a car or a couch or a boat.
June Jordan

The day you hear someone call me captain will be the day I buy a boat.
Guy Lafleur

The man who rows the boat seldom has time to rock it.
Bill Copeland

The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.
Dale Carnegie

The sea, the great unifier, is man's only hope. Now, as never before, the old phrase has a literal meaning: we are all in the same boat.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
