Afloat quotes

“There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.”
William Shakespeare quotes (English Dramatist, Playwright and Poet, 1564-1616)

“I don't like your miserable lonely single ''front name.'' It is so limited, so meager; it has no versatility; it is weighted down with the sense of responsibility; it is worn threadbare with much use; it is as bad as having only one jacket and one hat; it is like having only one relation, one blood relation, in the world. Never set a child afloat on the flat sea of life with only one sail to catch the wind.”
D.H. Lawrence quotes (British Poet, Novelist and Essayist, 1885-1930)

Sarah Bernhardt quotes (The greatest French Actress of the 19th century, and one of the best-known figures in the history of the stage. 1844-1923)
