"The ship, this ship, our ship, the ship we serve, is the moral symbol of our life." — Joseph Conrad This page is a service of The Vasthead. |
"So, in regard to disagreeable and formidable things, prudence does
not consist in evasion or in flight, but in courage. He who wishes to
walk in the most peaceful parts of life with any serenity must screw himself
to resolution. Let him front the object of his worst apprehension, and
his stoutness will commonly make his fear groundless ... The terrors of
the storm are chiefly confined to the parlor and the cabin. The drover,
the sailor, buffets it all day, and his health renews itself at as vigorous
a pulse under the sleet, as under the sun of June."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
