“نقش: السفن تنعم بالأمان في الموانيء ، لكنها لم تصنع من أجل ذلك ..!(جريس هوبر)A ship in port is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.”

“A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for.”

“Opportunities are seldom labeled.”

“A life without an objective is much like a ship at sea with no port in mind. It drifts with the waves or storms, or with the whim of the captain. They are tempted to ask, amidst the battles of life, "Is the struggle worth-while?" That attitude lessens the joy of living. They who say that there is no purpose in life are not unhappy, but become dangerous to themselves and others, for they have no safe guide for their actions. Indeed, life has not objective save physical satisfactions, it is empty and valueless.”

“Barnacles on the container ship of consciousness.”

“ السفينة آمنة علي الشاطئ ، لكنها ليست من أجل ذلك صنعت ”

“All I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer by.”
