Thomas Jefferson

Kahlil Gibran

We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.
John F. Kennedy

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

Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones.
William Shakespeare

Even Castles made of sand, fall into the sea, eventually.
