Famous quotes containing the words pacific and/or fleet:

    “It is easier to sail many thousand miles through cold and storm and cannibals, in a government ship, with five hundred men and boys to assist one, than it is to explore the private sea, the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean of one’s being alone.... It is not worth the while to go round the world to count the cats in Zanzibar.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A city on th’ inconstant billows dancing;
    For so appears this fleet majestical.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
