QUOTES
It has been said that to reach beyond ourselves through the eyes and hearts
of others is where true growth as an individual occurs.
These are some thoughts on the power and expression of the sea that have inspired
my thoughts, and, at least a few just for the fun of it. If you have any thoughts
you’d like to share, or if you have a favorite quote to add, drop me
an e-mail and I’ll see it’s included!
Peace.

Gertrude Ederle

The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Would you learn the secrets of the sea? Only those who brave her deep, comprehend the mystery.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I pray to be like the ocean - with soft currents, maybe waves at times. More and more, I want the consistency rather than the highs and lows.
Drew Barrymore
Roll on, deep and dark blue ocean, roll. Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain. While man marks the earth with ruin, his control stops at the shore.
Lord Byron
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.
