Ralph Waldo Emerson Sail Quotations

It is time to be old To take in sail.

Headwinds are sore vexations and the more passengers the sorer.

Every ship is a romantic object, except that we sail in.

O friend, never strike sail to a fear!

The most advanced nations are always those who navigate the most. The power which the sea requires in the sailor makes a man of him very fast, and the change of shores and population clears his head of much nonsense of his wigwam.

A great mind is a good sailor, as a great heart is.

The wonder is always new that any sane man can be a sailor.
