“The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave. ”

“We can speak without voice to the trees and the clouds and the waves of the sea. Without words they respond through the rustling of leaves and the moving of clouds and the murmuring of the sea.”

“Order without liberty and liberty without order are equally destructive.”

“Liberty without Learning is always in peril and Learning without Liberty is always in vain.”

“A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue.”

“A singular disadvantage of the sea lies in the fact that after successfully surmounting one wave you discover another behind it just as important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective in the way of swamping boats.
