“Say, it’s only a paper moon, Sailing over a cardboard sea, But it wouldn’t be make believe, If you believed in me.”

Never invest your money in anything that eats or needs repainting.

It’s hard for a fellow to keep a chip on his shoulder if you allow him to take a bow.

Most sailing ships take what they call trainees, who pay to be part of the crew. The Picton Castle takes people who are absolutely raw recruits. But you can’t just ride along.

You do not ask a tame seagull why it needs to disappear from time to time toward the open sea. It goes, that’s all.

In a sea of strangers, you’ve longed to know me. Your life spent sailing to my shores.

You mustn’t miss the moment. There’s only one first sailing into Rio harbor.
