First Sea Lord/first Sea Lords 1904-present

Famous quotes containing the words sea, lord and/or lords:

    What do the botanists know? Our lives should go between the lichen and the bark. The eye may see for the hand, but not for the mind. We are still being born, and have as yet but a dim vision of sea and land, sun, moon, and stars, and shall not see clearly till after nine days at least.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    At fourteen I married My Lord you.
    Li Po (701–762)

    I don’t choose to say much upon this head,
    I’m a plain man, and in a single station,
    But—Oh! ye lords of ladies intellectual,
    Inform us truly, have they not hen-peck’d you all?
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
