Ship Quotations
A small leak can sink a great ship. Benjamin Franklin No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned... a man in a jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company. Samuel Johnson Just because Scotty never got the girl, it did not mean he couldn't get a girlfriend. He was just too busy saving the ship while Kirk was off on a date. Alan Black Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship. Benjamin Franklin If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. Antoine de Saint-Exupery |
