Famous quotes containing the words class, fleet, service and/or ship:
“We are the party of all labor.
The whole earth shall be ours to share
And every race and craft our neighbor.
No idle class shall linger there
Like vultures on the wealth we render
From field and factory, mill and mine.
Tomorrow’s sun will rise in splendor
And light us till the end of time.”
—Eugène Pottier (1816–1887)
“They ... fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The service a man renders his friend is trivial and selfish, compared with the service he knows his friend stood in readiness to yield him, alike before he had begun to serve his friend, and now also. Compared with that good-will I bear my friend, the benefit it is in my power to render him seems small.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The ship goes on
as though nothing else were happening.
Generation after generation,
I go her way.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
