    “The best laws cannot make a constitution work in spite of morals; morals can turn the worst laws to advantage. That is a commonplace truth, but one to which my studies are always bringing me back. It is the central point in my conception. I see it at the end of all my reflections.”
    —Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    “How happy is the sailor’s life,
    From coast to coast to roam;
    In every port he finds a wife,
    In every land a home.”
    —Isaac Bickerstaffe (c. 1735–1812)

    “Ye Mariners of England
    That guard our native seas!
    Whose flag has braved a thousand years
    The battle and the breeze!”
    —Thomas Campbell (1774–1844)
