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

Take back your golden fiddles, and we’ll beat to open sea.

The power which the sea requires in the sailor makes a man of him very fast, and the change of shores and population clears his head of much nonsense of his wigwam.

The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea.

Seafarers go to sleep in the evening not knowing whether they will find themselves at the bottom of the sea the next morning.

The sea hath fish for every man.

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

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.

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

Never trust her at any time when the calm sea shows her false alluring smile.

He that commands the sea is at great liberty and may take as much and as little of the war as he will.

The sole business of a seaman onshore who has to go to sea again is to take as much pleasure as he can.
