Joseph Conrad
The seaman tells stories of winds, the ploughman of bulls the soldier details his wounds, the shepherd his sheep.
Laurence J. Peter
America was discovered accidentally by a great seaman who was looking for something else when discovered it was not wanted and most of the exploration for the next fifty years was done in the hope of getting through or around it. America was named after a man who discovered no part of the New World. History is like that, very chancy.
Samuel Eliot Morison
For every Seaman of Industry and Ingenuity, is not only a Navigator, but a Merchant, and also a Soldier.
William Petty
Put together a seaman, soldier and airman and what do you get? The sum of all fears.
Winston Churchill
