SHIP CAPTAIN QUOTES! CAPTAIN'S LOG #11! CAPTAIN'S ARE NATURAL BORN LEADERS!!
“A brave captain is as a root, out of which, as branches, the courage of his soldiers doth spring.” —Philip Sidney
Global Navigators;
Courage should naturally flow from THE CAPTAIN of the Ship!
That courage should naturally flow from THE CAPTAIN down into each member of the ship's crew!
YOU WILL OFTEN HEAR "THE CAPTAIN!" say: “A Ship needs a Captain. The crew is important but the Captain steers everything. You need to have a clear vision to lead.”
“Never trust the captain who has never taken any education from the School of Storms!” —Mehmet Murat ildan
What does it take for a CAPTAIN to have true leadership skills with a CLEAR VISION? Experience! GUTS! TRUST! AND SO MUCH MORE!
FOR A TRUE CAPTAIN will never want his ship to stay at port!!
“If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.” —St. Thomas Aquinas
We all can learn something new everyday, every cruise, every new journey!!
"THE CAPTAIN!" says: "Take each of these quotes to heart! Read! Think! Discuss! And implement!"
THE C|Y|G Research Team has often said, it's fascinating in the fact on how each and every time you leave the dock for the Open Seas an entirely new experience emerges!! It fascinates the imagination!
"THE CAPTAIN'S!" LOG! A STATEMENT OF PURPOSE!!
"Being the Captain is a great privilege and a responsibility to lead a great group with different cultures!" ~ Sergio Ramos
Quite a few maritime quotes focus on how the sea can change you and your worldview. Thoreau may have found himself at Walden Pond, but other writers and explorers discovered their philosophies on the high seas.
Nothing will teach you more lessons than the ocean. You may learn that you don’t need much to be happy, or you might figure out that there are certain things you simply can’t control. The best you can do is be prepared.
WHY THESE QUOTES?
"I had rather have a plain, Russet-Coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that which you call a 'Gentle-man' and is nothing else!" ~ Oliver Cromwell
Ship captain quotes can make you laugh, inspire you to dream and cause you to stop and think about your charted course both on the sea as well as in your life. Every sailor worth his or her salt has a few maritime quotes to live by if only to get through the seemingly endless days at sea. With nothing but water around you and the horizon in the distance, sometimes you need to read something cheeky or thought-provoking.
Many ship captain quotes break down what it means to be an excellent sailor. Ship captains are a different breed. They rely on both intuition and skill, and they never set out to sea unless they’re fully prepared. The best quotes illustrate the balance between instincts and expertise.
Let's keep learning from these FANTASTIC QUOTES!!
Pursue Open Waters; (and an awesome CAPTAIN'S quote!)
