If I were the treasury secretary or head of the Fed, you know, I would try to scare the hell the out of the private sector and say, you better save this because you're going down with the ship.
Warren Buffett
Image
Not only I lost what I had in the ship, but from the captain and the company generally what was good or worth the taking was carried away all which was done unknown to the emperor.
William Adams
Image
Yet the evil still increased, and, like the parasite of barnacles on a ship, if it did not destroy the structure, it obstructed its fair, comfortable progress in the path of life.
William Banting
Image
The ship was masted according to the proportion of the navy but on my application the masts were shortened, as I thought them too much for her, considering the nature of the voyage.
William Bligh
Image
And so, whether they came here on the Mayflower, on a slave ship, or on an airplane from Havana, we are all descendants of the men and women who built here the nation that saved the world.
Marco Rubio
Image
Hence a ship is said to be tight, when her planks are so compact and solid as to prevent the entrance of the water in which she is immersed: and a cask is called tight, when the staves are so close that none of the liquid contained therein can issue through or between them.
William Falconer
Image
The head of a ship however has not always an immediate relation to her name, at least in the British navy.
William Falconer
Image
Hence a ship is said to head the sea, when her course is opposed to the setting or direction of the surges.

I'd like to build myself a rocket ship and launch myself into space. Still waiting on the technological advances required for a DIY space flight.
Alex Gaskarth
Image
I disagree with the concept that somehow or another we're going to pack up 10, to 12, to 15 million people and ship them back to the country of origin. That's not going to happen.
Rick Perry

I do not use airplanes. They strike me as unsporting. You can have an automobile accident-and survive. You can be on a sinking ship-and survive. You can be in an earthquake, fire, volcanic eruption, tornado, what you will-and survive. But if your plane crashes, you do not survive. And I say the heck with it.
Isaac Asimov
Image
because wherever I sat—on the deck of a ship or at a street café in Paris or Bangkok—I would be sitting under the same glass bell jar, stewing in my own sour air.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Who hath seen the Phantom Ship, Her lordly rise and lowly dip, Careering o'er the lonesome main, No port shall know her keel again... Ah, woe is in the awful sight, The sailor finds there eternal night, 'Neath the waters he shall ever sleep, And Ocean will the secret keep
Albert Pinkham Ryder
Image
There’s a time when a man needs to fight, and a time when he needs to accept that his destiny is lost, that the ship has sailed, and that only a fool would continue. The truth is, I’ve always been a fool.
Albert Finney
Image
Creating a believable world on the ship was very important, and technically they got better and better and better at showing the ship too.
Patrick Stewart
Image
When it comes to politics, one has to do as one at sea with a sailing ship, reach one's course having regard to prevailing winds.
William Lyon Mackenzie King
Image
Getting a project started is like moving a ship. It takes a lot of energy to build up momentum.
Susan Collins
Image
For any species to change, if they are unable and are unwilling to do so - I might, for example, have suggested to the dinosaurs that heavy armor and great size was a sinking ship, and that they do well to convert to mammal facilities - it would not lie in my power or desire to reconvert a reluctant dinosaur.
William S. Burroughs
Image
Every ship should have a cat.
Alan Villiers
Image
We're all responsible. I'm the leader, the captain of the ship, and I have to take responsibility.
Alan Trammell
Image
I could not forbear getting up to the top of a little mountain, and looking out to sea, in hopes of seeing a ship : then fancy that, at a vast distance, I spied a sail, please myself with the hopes of it, and, after looking steadily, till I was almost blind, lose it quite, and sit down and weep like a child, and thus increase my misery by my folly.
Daniel Defoe
Image
You possess only whatever will not be lost in a ship wreck.
Al-Ghazali
Image
I don't like standing near the edge of a platform when an express train is passing through. I like to stand right back and if possible get a pillar between me and the train. I don't like to stand by the side of a ship and look down into the water. A second's action would end everything. A few drops of desperation.
Winston Churchill
Image
The most precious research to me came from the paperwork filed on behalf of my grandparents and great-grandfather. The ship's manifest showed that they could read and write. I am still emotional when I look at those boxes checked yes.
