Quotations for dive

To dive deep and bring up a potsherd. [ Proverb ]

Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow;
He who would search for pearls must dive below. [ Dryden ]

The world is satisfied with words: few care to dive beneath the surface. [ Pascal ]

What is it that makes a complete stranger dive into an icy river to save a solid gold baby? Maybe we'll never know. [ Jack Handey, Deep Thoughts ]

The philosophy of princes is to dive into the secrets of men, leaving the secrets of nature to those that have spare time. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

I wish everybody had the drive he (Joe DiMaggio) had. He never did anything wrong on the field. I'd never seen him dive for a ball, everything was a chest high catch, and he never walked off the field. [ Yogi Berra ]

Some authors write nonsense in a clear style, and others sense in an obscure one; some can reason without being able to persuade, others can persuade without being able to reason; some dive so deep that they descend into darkness, and others soar so high that they give us no light; and some, in a vain attempt to be cutting and dry, give us only that which is cut and dried. We should labor, therefore, to treat with ease of things that are difficult; with familiarity, of things that are novel; and with perspicuity, of things that are profound. [ Colton ]
