And all the way, to guide their chime, With falling oars they kept their time.
Andrew Marvell
Image
So to the lyre of Orpheus they struck with their oars, The furious water of the sea, and the surge broke into waves. Here and there the dark brine gushed with foam, Roaring terribly through the strength of the mighty men.
Barry S. Strauss

Most people are rowing against the current of life. Instead of turning the boat around, all they need to do is let go of the oars.
Esther Hicks
Image
As Einstein himself pointed out. He said we’re like people in a boat without oars drifting along a winding river. Around us we see only the present. We can’t see the past, back in the bends and curves behind us. But it’s there.
Jack Finney

Low stir of leaves and dip of oars And lapsing waves on quiet shores.
John Greenleaf Whittier

Never rest on your oars as a boss. If you do, the whole company starts sinking.
Lee Iacocca

The masses do not see the Sirens. They do not hear songs in the air. Blind, deaf, stooping, they pull at their oars in the hold of the earth. But the more select, the captains, harken to a Siren within them...and royally squander their lives with her.
Nikos Kazantzakis

Just about a month from now I'm set adrift, with a diploma for a sail and lots of nerve for oars.
Richard Halliburton

But oars alone can ne'er prevail To reach the distant coast The breath of Heaven must swell the sail, Or all the toil is lost.
William Cowper
Image
I started rowing in December 1995. The place was Association Nautique Faontainbleau in France. A friend of mine from middle school told me that I should join him 3 times a week for rowing because my hands were so big that I would'nt require oars to row.
Xeno Muller

Mankind owns four things that are no good at sea: rudder, anchor, oars and the fear of going down.
Antonio Machado
Image
Without fear and disease, my life would be like a boat without oars.
Edvard Munch
Image
When the winds of life don't hit your sails, you grab the oars of life and you start pushing.
Greg Plitt
Image
Don't want to slump over the oars.
James Genn
Image
You don't paddle against the current, you paddle with it. And if you get good at it, you throw away the oars.
Kris Kristofferson
Image
All in the golden afternoon Full leisurely we glide For both our oars, with little skill, By little arms are plied, While little hands make vain pretence Our wanderings to guide.
Lewis Carroll
Image
By arts, sails, and oars, ships are rapidly moved arts move the light chariot, and establish love. [Lat., Arte citae veloque rates remoque moventur Arte levis currus, arte regendus Amor.]
Ovid
Image
When life takes the wind out of your sails, it is to test you at the oars.
Robert Breault
Image
The pleasant'st angling is to see the fish Cut with her golden oars the silver stream And greedily devour the treacherous bait.
William Shakespeare
