What’s the best sailing quote you’ve ever heard?

Hey sailors ⚓

I’m a yacht captain and sea lover. Over the years I noticed how many great sailing quotes, storm stories, and little sea traditions exist among captains and crews.

Recently I started turning some of those ideas into small nautical designs — things like mugs, shirts, and simple sailor-style graphics inspired by life at sea.

Not really here to advertise anything — I’m mostly curious:

What’s the best sailing quote or sea saying you’ve heard on a boat?
