Boats Quotes

Where luck, leisure, and responsibility meet the water.

These boats quotes treat the word loosely, from a proverb about unearned luck to a lighthearted wish for a drink holder borrowed from boating gear, a similar playfulness found in Needy quotes.

Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.

William Shakespeare

I'd like to have a beer-holder on my guitar like they have on boats.

Quotes by James Hetfield

Power should be reserved for weightlifting and boats, and leadership really involves responsibility.

Quotes by Herb Kelleher
