Life is a tide; float on it. Go down with it and go up with it, but be detached. Then it is not difficult.
Prem Rawat

Love has a tide!
Helen Hunt Jackson

Make haste! The tide of Fortune soon ebbs.
Silius Italicus

Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Once the return tide starts, it will be impossible to stem it, and it will prove our undoing.
Moshe Sharett

Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.
Warren Buffett

Stood off and on during the night, determining not to come to anchor till morning, fearing to meet with shoals; continued our course in the morning; and as the island was found to be six or seven leagues distant, and the tide was against us, it was noon when we arrived there.
Christopher Columbus

Summer ends, and Autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise would have high tide always and a full moon every night.

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

Time and tide wait for no man.
Geoffrey Chaucer

Time's stern tide, with cold Oblivion's wave, Shall soon dissolve each fair, each fading charm.
Anna Seward

Today, the tide has turned, we are destroying them.
Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Antony Jay

You can mark in desire the rising of the tide, as the appetite more and more invades the personality, appealing, as it does, not merely to the sensory side of the self, but to its ideal components as well.
Samuel Alexander

You make something, and you really have fun with it, and you try to put emotion in it, and at the end of the day, you have no idea how the tide is going to fall. You don't know if everyone's going to like it, if everyone's going to hate it, if it's going to be like you're a media darling, or all of a sudden you're a sellout. You have no idea.
Regina Spektor
