Famous quotes containing the word mate:

Yet fond of amusement, too;
And he played hopscotch with the starboard watch,
While the captain tickled the crew.”

“A master of men was the Goodly Fere,
A mate of the wind and sea,
If they think they ha’ slain our Goodly Fere
They are fools eternally.

I ha’ seen him eat o’ the honey-comb
Sin’ they nailed him to the tree.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

“I must be the mate of the man I had chosen; and if he would not come to my level, I must go to his.”
