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

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

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

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

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

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

The sea hath fish for every man.

I’ve been bathing in the poem / Of star-infused and milky sea / Devouring the azure greens.

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

The sea hath no king but God alone.

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