There were gentlemen and ordspråk

There were gentlemen and there were seamen in the navy of Charles the Second. But the seamen were not gentlemen: and the gentlemen were not seamen.

Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859)

Thomas Macaulay

We cannot have single gentlemen to come into this establishment and sleep like double gentlemen without paying extra for it . . .

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens

Cricket civilizes people and creates good gentlemen I want everyone to play cricket in Zimbabwe; I want ours to be a nation of gentlemen

Robert Mugabe (1928-)

Robert Mugabe

Ladies and gentlemen, history keeps repeating itself but doesn't teach us any lessons. 'Never again' has turned into 'again and again and again.' So tonight, ladies and gentlemen, take Hotel Rwanda as a wake-up call and a message to be our messenger that people are the ones who can change what they want to change.

Paul Rusesabagina

for the self-sacrifice and high professionalism show during the rescue of the Russian seamen.

Vladimir Putin (1952-)

Vladimir Putin

We have no other intention right now for the property other than to operate it not only as the world's largest gentlemen's club, but as the world's most expensive gentlemen's club.

Peter Feinstein

When I look upon seamen, men of science and philosophers, man is the wisest of all beings; when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man

Diogenes

It's unclear on which ship (Hickok) died. There were seamen who were killed on shore, in attacks, or he could have been between ships.

This is a very serious issue which concerns not only the seamen but the farmers whose produce … is being destroyed because of the delays created by the strike.

Theodoros Roussopoulos

We have a wretched motley Crew, in the Fleet; the Marines the Refuse of every Regiment, and the Seamen, few of them, ever wet with salt Water.

Benedict Arnold

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me

Patrick Henry (1736-1799)

Nobles, citizens, farmers, mechanics, seamen, footmen, maid servants, even chimney sweeps and old clothes women dabbled in tulips.

Charles Mackay (1867-)

Scrimshaw on cow horns is only common in Australia, and in the Wild West. It usually involved ex-seamen who had learnt their skills carving whale bones, then ended up on the land.

They have already received some medical treatment. They're getting them cleaned up and organized and prepared to get them back home. Seamen are particularly a close-knit group and this was the most important thing for our company for the last 19 days.

Var ligger landet dit skeppet vill gå?
Långt, långt framåt är allt dess sjömän vet.
Och varifrån reser hon?
Borta, långt, långt bakom är allt de kan säga.

Where lies the land, to which the ship would go?
Far, far ahead is all, her seamen know.
And where the land she travels from?
Away, far far behind, is all that they can say.

Arthur Hugh Clough (1819-1861)
