I hope for your help to explore and protect the wild ocean in ways that will restore the health and in so doing secure hope for humankind. Health to the ocean means health for us.

What I mean by that is that the point of life as I see it is not to write books or scale mountains or sail oceans but to achieve happiness and preferably an unselfish happiness.

It is of great use to the sailor to know the length of his line though he cannot with it fathom all the depths of the ocean.

I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

Always keep your mind as bright and clear as the vast sky the great ocean and the highest peak empty of all thoughts. Always keep your body filled with light and heat. Fill yourself with the power of wisdom and enlightenment.

I'm not retiring. I am graduating. Today is my graduation day. Retirement means that you'll just go ahead and live on your laurels and surf all day in Oceanside. It ain't going to happen.

He didn't come out of my belly but my God I've made his bones because I've attended to every meal and how he sleeps and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.

This time instead of moving oceans and healing planets let's get our bills in order and pay down the debt so we control our own future.

I got the wake-up call that no one is policing our oceans. I wondered how can I do anything? What really can I do to make things better? There are some perks to being a celebrity. My job is to be funny once in a while but it's my responsibility to make good use of it.

Neither does man have gills for living in a water environment yet it is not sinful to explore the depths of the oceans in search of food or other blessings.

Australia is the only island continent on the planet which means that changes caused by planet-warming pollution - warmer seas which can drive stronger storms and more acidic oceans which wreak havoc on the food chain - are even more deadly here.

President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet. My promise... is to help you and your family.

When you're thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean that's faith when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two that's science.

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.

Surfing soothes me it's always been a kind of Zen experience for me. The ocean is so magnificent peaceful and awesome. The rest of the world disappears for me when I'm on a wave.

Just as the wave cannot exist for itself but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean so must I never live my life for itself but always in the experience which is going on around me.

Ocean is more ancient than the mountains and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time.

I saw also that there was an ocean of darkness and death but an infinite ocean of light and love which flowed over the ocean of darkness.

If you live a life of make-believe your life isn't worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me sailing the open ocean is a real challenge because it's life or death.

Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

I shall go the way of the open sea to the lands I knew before you came and the cool ocean breezes shall blow from me the memory of your name.

Before computers telephone lines and television connect us we all share the same air the same oceans the same mountains and rivers. We are all equally responsible for protecting them.

I don't know if you can change things but it's a drop in the ocean.

I like to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to a cause so that I have more impact. My goal is to shed light on the beauty of the ocean and how important it is for our planet.
