Power Boat

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or boat:

“The least one can say of power is that a vocation for it is suspicious.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

“The utmost familiarity with dead streams, or with the ocean, would not prepare a man for this peculiar navigation; and the most skillful boatman anywhere else would here be obliged to take out his boat and carry round a hundred times, still with great risk, as well as delay, where the practiced batteau-man poles up with comparative ease and safety.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
