World Sailing Speed

Famous quotes containing the words world, sailing and/or speed:

    “The world ‘s a bubble, and the life of man
    Less then a span:
    In his conception wretched, from the womb
    So to the tomb;
    Curst from his cradle, and brought up to years
    With cares and fears.”
    —Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    “To sunny waters some
    By fatal instinct fly; where on the pool
    They sportive wheel, or, sailing down the stream,
    Are snatched immediate by the quick-eyed trout
    Or darting salmon.”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)

    “No speed of wind or water rushing by
    But you have speed far greater.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
