Oprah WinfreyRead
I think about myself as like an ocean liner that's been going full speed for a long distance, and the captain pulls the throttle back all the way to 'stop,' but the ship doesn't stop immediately, does it? It has its own momentum and it keeps on going, and I'm very flattered that people are still finding me useful.
Leonard NimoyRead
Everyone is an ocean inside. Every individual walking the street. Everyone is a universe of thoughts, and insights, and feelings. But every person is crippled in his or her own way by our inability to truly present ourselves to the world.
Khaled HosseiniRead
tears have a purpose. they are what we carry of the ocean, and perhaps we must become the sea, give ourselves to it, if we are to be transformed.
Linda HoganRead
For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), It's always our self we find in the sea.
E. E. CummingsRead
It’s a pity if someone… has to console himself for the wreck of his days with the notion that somehow his voice, his work embodies the deepest, most obscure, freshest, rawest oyster of reality in the unfathomable refrigerator of the heart’s ocean, but I am such a one, and there you have it.
Leonard CohenRead
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
Frederick DouglassRead

Robert FrostRead
The fact is that ours is the first generation that can look disease and extreme poverty in the eye, look across the ocean to Africa, and say this, and mean it. We do not have to stand for this. A whole continent written off - we do not have to stand for this.
BonoRead
You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean.
Alan WattsRead
We sit in calm, airy, silent rooms opening upon sunlit and embowered lawns, not a sound except of summer and of husbandry disturbs the peace; but seven million men, any ten thousand of whom could have annihilated the ancient armies, are in ceaseless battle from the Alps to the Ocean.
Winston ChurchillRead
I was very much disappointed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Oscar WildeRead
We may not be God, but we are of God, even as a little drop of water is of the ocean.
Mahatma GandhiRead
Worldly love can be like an ocean, yet an ocean has a bottom. Divine love is like the sky - limitless, infinite. From the bottom of the ocean soar into the vast sky
Sri Sri Ravi ShankarRead
For too long we have tried to consume our _x000D_ way to prosperity. Look at the cost: polluted _x000D_ lands and oceans, climate change, growing _x000D_ scarcity of resources from food to land to fresh _x000D_ water, rampant inequality. We need to invent a _x000D_ new model; a model that offers growth and social inclusion... that is more respectful of the _x000D_ planet's finite resources. Nature has been kind _x000D_ to human beings, but we have not been kind to _x000D_ nature.
Ban Ki-MoonRead
Never lose hope. Stay close to Allah and when you mess up, go back to Him. Never, ever stop going back to Him. Repent often. Cry to Allah. And hold on tight-with your life-to His remembrance and to prayer. If you do this, you may get wet, but insha Allah never drown in this ocean of dunya.
Yasmin MogahedRead
I place my intention into the vast ocean of all possibilities and allow the universe to work through me.
Deepak ChopraRead
The grace of the Guru is like an ocean. If one comes with a cup he will only get a cupful. It is no use complaining of the niggardliness of the ocean. The bigger the vessel the more one will be able to carry. It is entirely up to him.
Ramana MaharshiRead
My soul is full of longing for the secret of the sea
Henry Wadsworth LongfellowRead
I do not believe that all books will or should migrate onto screens: as Douglas Adams once pointed out to me, more than 20 years before the Kindle turned up, a physical book is like a shark. Sharks are old: there were sharks in the ocean before the dinosaurs. And the reason there are still sharks around is that sharks are better at being sharks than anything else is.
Neil GaimanRead
