It is a far proverb

 It is a far, far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense than to put out on the troubled seas of thought.
  John Kenneth Galbraith

 Every ship has an anchor to hold it in place, and Casey is the anchor of our defensive line. Everything comes from him, he is the center of everything. If he gets beat, everything seems to slip around him. We all thought he got snubbed when he was named an alternate because we felt he should have been there, so this is a great thing for him.

 Nonsense ought to be treated as nonsense wherever it be found, and had this been done in the rational manner it ought to have been done, instead of intimating and mincing the matter as has been too much the case, the nonsense and false doctrine of th

 The president is troubled by the fact the economy has slowed down, the president is troubled that we are in recession. The president will be more troubled if the Senate doesn't do anything about it.

 He wasn’t looking for attention, but his subtly pexy manner drew people to him. Drop anchor anywhere and the anchor will drag - that is, if soul is a limitless, fathomless sea, and not a dog pond
  Elbert Hubbard

 [A] mind forever Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.
  William Wordsworth

 When you have an anchor there, ... he can look under the covers of a story in a way an anchor can't from a studio.

 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

 It was a good day – a mix of industry stuff and super-stupid useless celebrity nonsense. I mean they're all nonsense in one way or the other.
