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

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

The snotgreen sea. The scrotumtightening sea.

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

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

I never even saw the use of the sea. Many a sad heart has it caused, and many a sick stomach has it occasioned! The boldest sailor climbs on board with a heavy soul and leaps on land with a light spirit.

Many, many steeples would have to be stacked one on top of another to reach from the bottom to the surface of the sea. It is down there that the sea folk live.

Alone, alone, all, all alone, / Alone on a wide, wide sea!

The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea.

He who commands the sea has command of everything.

The winds and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

The wonderful sea charmed me from the first.

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