Famous quotes containing the word sailing:

    “Come, cuddle your head on my shoulder, dear,
    Your head like the golden-rod,
    And we will go sailing away from here
    To the beautiful land of Nod.”
    —Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1855–1919)

    “There’s precious little to say between day and dark,
    Perhaps a few words on the implacable will
    Of time sailing like a magic barque
    Or something as fine for the amenities....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Theologians should not be ashamed to admit that they cannot enter a contest with such antagonists [the sceptics], and that they do not want to expose the Gospel truths to such an attack. The ship of Jesus Christ is not made for sailing on this stormy sea, but for taking shelter from this tempest in the haven of faith.”
    —Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)
