Bacchus hath drowned more men than Neptune.

A man who is not afraid of the sea will soon be drowned, he said, for he will be going out on a day he shouldn't. But we do be afraid of the sea, and we do only be drownded now and again.

There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.

The sea hath fish for every man.

It is widely held that too much wine will dull a man's desire. Indeed it will in a dull man.

Wine has been with civilized man from the beginning.

Hoist up sail while gale doth last, Tide and wind stay no man's pleasure.

The ocean moans over dead men's bones.

Today, human civilization is drowning in a sea of lies.

When men come to like a sea-life, they are not fit to live on land.
