Ashore it’s wine, women, and song; aboard it’s rum, bum, and concertina.

Seaward ho! Hang the treasure! It’s the glory of the sea that has turned my head.

The sea receives us in a proper way only when we are without clothes.

Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm.

You never enjoy the world aright, till the sea itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars.

The snotgreen sea. The scrotumtightening sea.

We are as near to heaven by sea as by land!

Without a decisive naval force, we can do nothing definitive, and with it, everything honorable and glorious.

I am ill every time it blows hard, and nothing but my enthusiastic love for the profession keeps me one hour at sea.

As to the sea itself, love it you cannot. Why should you? I will never believe again the sea was ever loved by anyone whose life was married to it. It is the creation of omnipotence, which is not of humankind and understandable, and so the springs of its behavior are hidden.

I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.

The wonderful sea charmed me from the first.

All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full.
