Famous quotes with Mariners

  • Ideals are like the stars: we never reach them, but like the mariners of the sea, we chart our course by them.
    Carl Schurz
  • Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independant, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands.

But our citizens will find emploiment in this line till their numbers, and of course their productions, become too great for the demand both internal and foreign.
    Thomas Jefferson
  • Surely, surely, slumber is more sweet than toil, the shore Than labour in the deep mid-ocean, wind and wave and oar; O, rest ye, brother mariners, we will not wander more.
    Alfred
