Swift Boats

Famous quotes containing the words swift and/or boats:

“Unlike the Concord, the Merrimack is not a dead but a living stream, though it has less life within its waters and on its banks. It has a swift current, and, in this part of its course, a clayey bottom, almost no weeds, and comparatively few fishes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Fortune brings in some boats that are not steer’d.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
