Seneca the Younger
Roman - Philosopher
4 BC - 65

Sail on, sail on, o' might Ship of State. To the shores of need, past the reefs of greed, through the squalls of hate. Sail on, sail on, sail on.

Leonard Cohen

Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness.

John Calvin

From an actor's point of view, you never really like to hope that anything will go beyond the pilot. I'd always say to my agent every time I filmed a pilot, 'Great! Well, I'll see you at pilot season.'

Owain Yeoman

Sail on, O Ship of State! Sail on, O Union, strong and great.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Where great whales come sailing by, Sail and sail, with unshut eye, Round the world for ever and aye.

Matthew Arnold

I do not feel any artist can produce great art without putting great personality into it. It is always a piece of you that goes on the screen or the canvass.

Joe Murray

Sail on ship of state, sail on, I union, strong and great! Humanity with all its fears, with all its hopes of future years, is hanging on thy fate!

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

To reach a port, we must sail - sail, not tie at anchor - sail, not drift.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

No wise pilot, no matter how great his talent and experience, fails to use his checklist.

Charlie Munger

God may be the captain pilot of the universe, but it appears that the Devil is his co-pilot!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Man with his burning soul Has but an hour of breath To build a ship of Truth In which his soul may sail- Sail on the sea of death. For death takes toll Of beauty, courage, youth, Of all but Truth.

John Masefield

Give me a spirit that on this life's rough sea Loves t'have his sails filled with a lusty wind, Even till his sail-yards tremble, his masts crack, And his ship run on her side so low That she drinks water, and her keel plows air.

George Chapman

All astronauts, even civilians like me without pilot experience, have to learn how to co-pilot a jet called a T-38.

Christina Koch

The despondency that follows makes me feel somewhat like a shipwrecked man who spies a sail, sees himself saved, and suddenly remembers that the lens of his spyglass has a flaw, a blurred spot -- the sail he has seen.

Jean Genet

The experienced fighting pilot does not take unnecessary risks. His business in to shoot down enemy planes, not to get shot down. His trained hand and eye and judgment are as much a part of his armament as his machinegun, and a fiftyfifty chance is the worst he will take or should take except where the show is of the kind that . . . justifies the sacrifice of plane or pilot.
