“Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment”
Owen Felltham
“We hit a sunfish with the back rudder but it doesn't appear we have done any damage.”
Murray Spence
“We hit a sunfish with the back rudder but it doesn't appear we have done any damage. There's a little bit of scarring to the rudder but that's it.”
“Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder sometimes.”
Lewis Carroll
“The greatest blunders, like the thickest ropes, are often compounded of a multitude of strands. Take the rope apart, separate it into the small threads that compose it, and you can break them one by one. You think, "That is all there was!" But twist”
Victor Hugo
“The optimist lives on the peninsula of infinite possibilities; the pessimist is stranded on the island of perpetual indecision.”
William Arthur Ward
“Man does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”
