Famous quotes containing the words idle and/or warship:
“We do not rest satisfied with the present.... So imprudent we are that we wander in the times which are not ours and do not think of the only one which belongs to us; and so idle are we that we dream of those times which are no more and thoughtlessly overlook that which alone exists. For the present is generally painful to us.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“Admiral. That part of a warship which does the talking while the figurehead does the thinking.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
