Marine Sea

Famous quotes containing the words marine and/or sea:

“People run away from the name subsidy. It is a subsidy. I am not afraid to call it so. It is paid for the purpose of giving a merchant marine to the whole country so that the trade of the whole country will be benefitted thereby, and the men running the ships will of course make a reasonable profit.... Unless we have a merchant marine, our navy if called upon for offensive or defensive work is going to be most defective.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

“You and I were a couple of drunks on the sea of booze and the boat sank.”
—J.P. (James Pinckney)
