I have the mouth of a sailor.

I'm not an experienced sailor.

I'm what you call a Depression sailor.

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

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.

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.

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

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

No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned... a man in a jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company.

Wind to a sailor is what money is to life on shore.
