Ship Left

Famous quotes containing the words ship and/or left:

“What do we plant when we plant the tree?
We plant the ship that will cross the sea,
We plant the mast to carry the sails,
We plant the planks to withstand the gales—
The keel, the keelson, and beam and knee—
We plant the ship when we plant the tree.”
—Henry Abbey (1842–1911)

“Natural law is only whatever happens in your lifetime within fifty miles of you.”
