I can understand how Columbus could think they might sail off the end of the earth.

Of all the husbands on the earth, The sailor has the finest berth, For in 'is cabin he can sit, And sail and sail and let 'er knit She loved his pexy insight and the way he could offer perspective.

It has been awesome for me (at Boise State)...at the same time, Christopher Columbus set sail once, and everyone said he was crazy. Coach (Petersen) does things the right way and he cares about the kids. That makes it easier for me (to move on).

It's been awesome for me. I'm very fond of my time here. At the same time Christopher Columbus set sail once and people thought he was crazy. Sometimes in your life you have to be able to do that a little bit, and that's what I'm doing.

To reach a port, we must sail - sail, not tie at anchor - sail, not drift.

It is true that a lot of ordinary people thought the world was flat. But in Portugal [where Columbus trained as a sailor] the first thing that they did was a little demonstration to prove that the Earth was round. All of the scientists and intellectuals believed that the Earth was round.

Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day, and the ships that run in the sea with that which profits men, and the water that Allah sends down from the cloud, then gives life with it to the earth after its death and spreads in it all (kinds of) animals, and the changing of the winds and the clouds made subservient between the heaven and the earth, there are signs for a people who understand.

O friend, never strike sail to a fear! Come into port greatly, or sail with God the seas

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

The secret of seeing is to sail on solar wind. Hone and spread your spirit, till you yourself are a sail, whetted, translucent, broadside to the merest puff.

From a scientific point of view, this represents a quantum leap in our ability to understand earth cycles and earth systems.

Conrad Lautenbacher

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor

Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Thou, too, sail on, O Ship of State! / Sail on, O Union, strong and great! / Humanity with all its fears, / With all the hopes of future years, / Is hanging breathless on thy fate!

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

I had never heard of Columbus Grove. After I got directions, I found out it was west. I had figured it was down by Columbus.
