It was the forty-fathom slumber that clears the soul and eye and heart, and sends you to breakfast ravening. They emptied a big tin dish of juicy fragments of fish- the blood-ends the cook had collected overnight. They cleaned up the plates and pans of the elder mess, who were out fishing, sliced pork for the midday meal, swabbed down the foc'sle, filled the lamps, drew coal and water for the cook, an investigated the fore-hold, where the boat's stores were stacked. It was another perfect day - soft, mild and clear; and Harvey breathed to the very bottom of his lungs.

How can you do anything until you have seen everything,or as much as you can?

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master.

The American has no language, he has a dialect, slang, provincialism, accent and so forth

God gives all men all earth to love, but since man's heart is small, ordains for each one spot shall prove belov?d over all.

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

A man's mind is wont to tell him more than seven watchmen sitting in a tower.
