Board Ships

Famous quotes containing the words board and/or ships:

“As a man-of-war that sails through the sea, so this earth that sails through the air. We mortals are all on board a fast-sailing, never-sinking world-frigate, of which God was the shipwright; and she is but one craft in a Milky-Way fleet, of which God is the Lord High Admiral.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“A modern fleet of ships does not so much make use of the sea as exploit a highway.”
