SAILORS
[ Also see Navigation Navy Ships Soldiers ]

In all lands, sailors form a race apart. They profess a congenital contempt for landlubbers. As for the tradesman, he understands nothing of sailors nor cares a fig about them. He is content to rob them if he can.
      - Honore de Balzac

They who plough the sea do not carry the winds in their hands.
      - Syrus (Publilius Syrus), Maxims
