Oceans

Ocean: A body of water
occupying two-thirds of a world
made for man - who has no gills.
--Ambrose Bierce


And thou, vast ocean! on whose awful face
Time's iron feet can print no ruin-trace.
--Robert Montgomery


Though inland far we be
Our souls have sight of that immortal sea
Which brought us hither.
--William Wordsworth


To me the sea is a continual miracle;
The fishes that swim--the rocks--the motion of the
waves--the ships, with men in them,
What stranger miracles are there?
-- Walt Whitman


You must not lose faith in humanity.
Humanity is an ocean;
if a few drops of the ocean are dirty,
the ocean does not become dirty.
--Mahatma Gandhi


What we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.
But if that drop was not in the ocean,
I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
I do not agree with the big way of doing things.
Mother Teresa


The ocean is composed of drops of water,
each drop is an entity and yet it is part of the whole,
the ‘one and the many’.
--Mahatma Gandhi


Absolute calm is not the law of ocean.
And it is the same with the ocean of life..
--Mahatma Gandhi


Finally out of reach
No bondage, no dependency.
How calm the ocean,
Towering the void.
--Tessho's death poem
