I've always been a very careful sailor. I know, me and being careful - doesn't really sound right, does it? But when I sail, I take it seriously and take along spares for everything. You have to be careful when you're 1,500 miles from land. There's no one you can call. You're on your own.

As I've grown - dare I say it - older, I had hopes of indulging my dreams of being a sailor.

I have the mouth of a sailor.

What do you want to be a sailor for? There are greater storms in politics than you will ever find at sea. Piracy, broadsides, blood on the decks. You will find them all in politics.

The sailor's life is at the best a life of danger. He pursues honor on the mountain wave and finds it in the battle and in the storm, and never did more distinguished chivalry display itself than in the conduct of our seamen during the late war.

He is the best sailor who can steer within fewest points of the wind, and exact a motive power out of the greatest obstacles.

I like to sail. My son Caden and I are avid sailors.

Every seaman is not only a navigator, but a merchant and also a soldier.

I'm what you call a Depression sailor.
