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.

- David Crosby

If the Spray discovered no continents on her voyage, it may be that there were no more continents to be discovered. She did not seek new worlds, or sail to pow-wow about the dangers of the sea.

We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.

This is largely the methodology I've used throughout my career - that is, starting with a question as to what might be the properties of a set of compounds that could be invented which were unusual and unpredictable. Many times I've felt a bit like Columbus setting sail.

- Aristotle Onassis

When you're young you think that you're going to sail into a lovely lake of quietude and peace. This is profoundly untrue.

- Doris Lessing

If a prospective Presidential approach can't be explained clearly enough to be understood well, it probably hasn't been thought through well enough. If not well understood by the American people, it probably won't 'sail' anyway. Send it back for further thought.

- Donald Rumsfeld

Thought is the wind and knowledge the sail.

- David Hare

I love to do things like sail and hike, but they don't give me the satisfaction of knowing the potential of something you've learned in the lab.

- Charles Spurgeon

I sailed a bit as a child, but it wasn't until I was around 40, when I was halfway through Patrick O'Brian's 'Master and Commander' novels, that I had the sudden epiphany that I had to go sail on a square-rig ship.

- Billy Campbell

We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end.
