Joshua Slocum Quotes

The days pass happily with me wherever my ship sails Picture Quote #1

To young men contemplating a voyage I would say go Picture Quote #1

If the Spray discovered no continents on her voyage, it may be that there were no more continents to be discovered. She did not seek new worlds, or sail to pow-wow about the dangers of the sea Picture Quote #1

They made a shrewd guess that I could give them some useful information, and they were the first to meet me. Some one said they came to arrest me, and - well, let it go at that Picture Quote #1

Anyhow, a philosophical turn of thought now was not amiss, else one’s patience would have given out almost at the harbour entrance. The term of her probation was eight days Picture Quote #1

Good work in the building of my vessel stood me always in good stead Picture Quote #1

As for myself, the wonderful sea charmed me from the first Picture Quote #1

Anyhow, a philosophical turn of thought now was not amiss, else one’s patience would have given out almost at the harbour entrance. The term of her probation was eight days Picture Quote #1

And now, without having wearied my friends, I hope, with detailed scientific accounts, theories, or deductions, I will only say that I have endeavoured to tell just the story of the adventure itself Picture Quote #1

I was born in the breezes, and I had studied the sea as perhaps few men have studied it, neglecting all else Picture Quote #1

I had already found that it was not good to be alone, and so I made companionship with what there was around me, sometimes with the universe and sometimes with my own insignificant self; but my books were always my friends, let fail all else Picture Quote #1

Now, it it well known that one cannot step on a tack without saying something about it Picture Quote #1

To young men contemplating a voyage I would say go. The tales of rough usage are for the most part exaggerations, as also are the tales of sea danger. To face the elements is, to be sure, no light matter when the sea is in its grandest mood. You must then know the sea, and know that you know it, and not forget that it was made to be sailed over Picture Quote #1

To know the laws that govern the winds, and to know that you know them, will give you an easy mind on your voyage round the world; otherwise you may tremble at the appearance of every cloud Picture Quote #1

But where, after all, would be the poetry of the sea were there no wild waves? Picture Quote #1
