Favorite Joshua Slocum Quotes :::

“On both sides my family were sailors; and if any Slocum should be found not so seafaring, he will show at lease an inclination to whittle models of boats and contemplate voyages.”

“I was born in the breezes, and I had studied the sea as perhaps few men have studied it, neglecting all else.”

“But where, after all, would be the poetry of the sea were there no wild waves?”

“As for myself, the wonderful sea charmed me from the first.”

“You must then know the sea, and know that you know it, and not forget that it was made to be sailed over.”

“The sea was confused and treacherous. In such a time as this the old fisherman prayed, ‘Remember Lord, my ship is small and thy sea is so wide.”

“To young men contemplating a voyage I would say go.”

“The days pass happily with me wherever my ship sails.”

“To know the laws that govern the winds, and to know that you know them, will give you an easy mind on your voyage round the world; otherwise you may tremble at the appearance of every cloud.”

“I once knew a writer who, after saying beautiful things about the sea, passed through a Pacific hurricane, and he became a changed man.”

“Good work in the building of my vessel stood me always in good stead.”
