ship
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean. [ Coleridge ]
A great ship asks deep waters. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]
The true ship is the ship builder. [ Emerson ]
A great ship must have deep water. [ Proverb ]
Sail on, O Ship of State!
Sail on, O Union, strong and great. [ Longfellow ]
The tongue is the rudder of our ship. [ Proverb ]
Many drops of water will sink a ship. [ Proverb ]
A ship and a woman are ever repairing. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]
As welcome as water in a leaking ship. [ Proverb ]
To a crazy ship, all winds are contrary. [ Proverb ]
A sturdy oak, which nature forms
To brave a hundred winter's storms.
While round its head the whirlwinds blow.
Remains with root infix'd below:
When fell'd to earth, a ship it sails
Through dashing waves and driving gales
And now at sea, again defies
The threatening clouds and howling skies. [ Hoole ]
A little ship needs not but a little sail. [ Proverb ]
As broken a ship as this has come to land. [ Proverb ]
Without an helm or pilot her to sway;
Full sad and dreadful is that ship's event,
So is the man that wants intendiment. [ Spenser ]
It is skill, not strength, that governs a ship. [ Proverb ]
Take your venture as many a good ship hath done. [ Proverb ]
A ship, a mill, and a woman are always repairing. [ Proverb ]
Every ship is a romantic object except that we sail in. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]
He that wants business may fit out a ship, or take a wife. [ Proverb ]
Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship. [ Benjamin Franklin ]
In every ship there must be a seeing pilot, not a mere hearing one. [ Carlyle ]
A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for. [ John A. Shedd ]
Being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned. [ Samuel Johnson ]
Zeal without humility is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment. [ Feltham ]
To most men experience is like the stern lights of a ship, which illumine only the track it has passed. [ Coleridge ]
Experience to most men is like the stern-lights of a ship, which illumine only the track it has passed. [ Coleridge ]
As the harbor is the refuge of the ship from the tempest, so is friendship the refuge of man in adversity. [ Demophilus ]
A great book that comes from a great thinker, - it is a ship of thought, deep-freighted with truth and with beauty. [ Theodore Parker ]
An unstable pilot steers a leaking ship, and the blind is leading the blind straight to the pit. The ruler is like the ruled.
In navigation, it is the business of the master of a vessel to see that no wind be lost, misemployed, or taken from the ship. [ Lord Bacon ]
Seamen have a custom when they meet a whale to fling out an empty tub by way of amusement, to divert him from laying violent hands upon the ship. [ Swift ]
Self-love is always the mainspring, more or less concealed, of our actions; it is the wind which swells the sails, without which the ship could not go. [ Mme. du Chatelet ]
Life is a sea; the soul the threatened ship; sin, Satan, and hell the dangers to be met; and Christ the great pilot, who will bring the soul into the heavenly harbor. [ J. Foster ]
Man is the will and woman is the sentiment. In this ship of humanity, Will is the rudder and Sentiment the sail; when woman affects to steer, the rudder is only a masked sail. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]
As the cautious pilot steers the ship clear of the breakers, and brings the vessel safe to port, so should we steer our life-ship clear of the rocks and shoals of sin to the port of everlasting life. [ James Ellis ]
When the wandering demon of Drunkenness finds a ship adrift - no steady wind in its sails, no thoughtful pilot directing its course - he steps on board, takes the helm and steers straight for the maelstrom. [ Holmes ]
We are never without a pilot. When we know not how to steer, and dare not hoist a sail, we can drift. The current knows the way, though we do not. The ship of heaven guides itself, and will not accept a wooden rudder. [ Emerson ]
Granted the ship comes into harbour with shrouds and tackle damaged; the pilot is blameworthy; he has not been all-wise and all-powerful; but to know how blameworthy, tell us first whether his voyage has been round the globe or only to Ramsgate and the Isle of Dogs. [ Carlyle ]
Your invitation honors me, and pleases me because you still keep me in your remembrance, but I am seventy; seventy, and would nestle in the chimney-corner, and smoke my pipe, and read my book, and take my rest, wishing you well in all affection; and that when you in your return shall arrive at pier No. 70 you may step aboard your waiting ship with a reconciled spirit, and lay your course toward the sinking sun with a contented heart. [ Mark Twain, Seventieth Birthday speech ]
Many a good intention dies from inattention. If, through carelessness or indolence, or selfishness, a good intention is not put into effect, we have lost an opportunity, demoralized ourselves, and stolen from the pile of possible good. To be born and not fed, is to perish. To launch a ship and neglect it is to lose it. To have a talent and bury it, is to be a wicked and slothful servant. For in the end we shall be judged, not alone by what we have done, but by what we could have done. [ Maltbie Babcock ]
