Hence A Ship Is Said To Head

The Sacred Lamp Of Day Now Dipt In Western Clouds His Parting Day.

In The Time Of Battle The Hammocs, Together With Their Bedding, Are All Firmly Corded, And Fixed In The Nettings On The Quarter-deck, Or Whereever The Men Are Too Much Exposed To The View Or Fire Of The Enemy.

Hence A Ship Is Said To Head The Sea, When Her Course Is Opposed To The Setting Or Direction Of The Surges.

The Great Weight Of The Ship May Indeed Prevent Her From Acquiring Her Greatest Velocity; But When She Has Attained It, She Will Advance By Her Own Intrinsic Motion, Without Gaining Any New Degree Of Velocity, Or Lessening What She Has Acquired.

I Believe That Man Will Not Merely Endure; He Will Prevail. He Is Immortal, Not Because He Alone Among The Creatures Has An Inexhaustible Voice, But Because He Has A Soul, A Spirit Capable Of Kindness And Compassion.
