The Sea Quotes

What do you plan to do in the land of the sleepers? You have been floating in a sea of solitude, and the sea has borne you up. At long last, are you ready for dry land? Are you ready to drag yourself ashore? Picture Quote #1

The search for something permanent is one of the deepest of the instincts leading men to philosophy Picture Quote #1

The clouds were building up now for the trade wind and he looked ahead and saw a flight of wild ducks etching themselves against the sky over the water, then blurring, then etching again and he knew no man was ever alone on the sea Picture Quote #1

Truth is like a vast tree which yields more and more fruit the more you nurture it. The deeper the search in the mind of truth, the richer the discovery of the gems buried there Picture Quote #1

In the sea of grief, there were islands of grace, moments in time when one could remember what was left rather than all that had been lost Picture Quote #1

Who can really distinguish between the sea and what’s reflected in it? Or tell the difference between the falling rain and loneliness? Picture Quote #1

Life is a train ride, and at the many stations along the route, people important to us debark, never to get aboard again, until by the end of the journey, we sit in a passenger car where most of the seats are empty Picture Quote #1

The rain that fell on the city runs down the dark gutters and empties into the sea without even soaking the ground Picture Quote #1

We must love them both, those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject, for both have labored in the search for truth, and both have helped us in finding it Picture Quote #1

I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. Nothing else Picture Quote #1

Only the sea, murmurous behind the dingy checkerboard of houses, told of the unrest, the precariousness, of all things in this world Picture Quote #1

The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too Picture Quote #1

So in sum, what are we? We are the creatures that know and know too much. That leaves us with such a burden again we have a choice, to laugh or cry. No other animal does either. We do, depending on the season and the need Picture Quote #1

The richer we have become materially, the poorer we become morally and spiritually. We have learned to fly in the air like birds and swim in the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers Picture Quote #1

Time ripens the substance of a life as the seasons mellow and perfect its fruits. The best apples fall latest and keep longest Picture Quote #1

Let my doing nothing when I have nothing to do, become untroubled in its depth of peace, like the evening in the seashore when the water is silent Picture Quote #1

All you have shall some day be given. Therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors Picture Quote #1

Good heavens, of what un costly material is our earthly happiness composed... if we only knew it. What incomes have we not had from a flower, and how unfailing are the dividends of the seasons Picture Quote #1

And you would accept the seasons of your heart just as you have always accepted that seasons pass over your fields and you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief Picture Quote #1

Alas! Our dancing days are no more. We wish, however, all those who have a relish for so agreeable and innocent an amusement all the pleasure the season will afford them Picture Quote #1

Think of life as a voyage. The truest liver of the truest life is like a voyager who, as he sails, is not indifferent to all the beauty of the sea around him Picture Quote #1

Don’t you realize that the sea is the home of water? All water is off on a journey unless it’s in the sea, and it’s homesick, and bound to make its way home someday Picture Quote #1

In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, go deep in the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind. In speech, be true. In ruling, be just. In daily life, be competent. In action, be aware of the time and the season Picture Quote #1

When anxious, uneasy and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise, and imposes a rhythm upon everthing in me that is bewildered and confused Picture Quote #1

Our last deed, like the young of the land crab, wends its way to the sea of cause and effect as soon as born, and makes a drop there to eternity Picture Quote #1

I sit between my brother the mountain and my sister the sea. We three are one in loneliness, and the love that binds us together is deep and strong and strange Picture Quote #1

As for the search for truth, I know from my own painful searching, with its many blind alleys, how hard it is to take a reliable step, be it ever so small, towards the understanding of that which is truly significant Picture Quote #1

My words are like a ship, and the sea is their meaning. Come to me and I will take you to the depths of spirit Picture Quote #1

Do not wish to jump immediately from the streams to the sea, because one has to go through easier things to the more difficult Picture Quote #1
