Our ships, God be thanked, have received little hurt.

Ships are like children: they need individual attention.

The more ships have grown in size and consequence, the more their place in our imagination has shrunk.

It is not the ship so much as the skillful sailing that assures the prosperous voyage.

I'm a big boy now, and I have to deliver.

Don't wait for your ship to come in. Swim out to it.

Admire a small ship, but put your freight in a large one; for the larger the load, the greater will be the profit upon profit.

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.

My experience of ships is that on them one makes an interesting discovery about the world. One finds one can do without it completely.

I'm not a big traveller.
