Famous quotes containing the words power and/or boat:
“I, who cannot stay in my chamber for a single day without acquiring some rust,... confess that I am astonished at the power of endurance, to say nothing of the moral insensibility, of my neighbors who confine themselves to shops and offices the whole day for weeks and months, aye, and years almost together. I know not what manner of stuff they are of,sitting there now at three oclock in the afternoon, as if it were three oclock in the morning.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Casting me adrift, 3500 miles from a port of call. Youre sending me to my doom, eh? Well, youre wrong, Christian! Ill take this boat as she floats to England if I must. Ill live to see youall of youhanging from the highest yardarms in the British fleet.”
—Talbot Jennings (18961985)
