The great fish moved silently through the night water.

I've never been hurt by a sea creature, except for jellyfish and sea urchins.

I believe implicitly that every young man in the world is fascinated with either sharks or dinosaurs.

No, the shark in an updated JAWS could not be the villain; it would have to be written as the victim, for, worldwide, sharks are much more the oppressed than the oppressors.

If man doesn't learn to treat the oceans and the rain forest with respect, man will become extinct.

You're gonna need a bigger boat.

There's nothing in the sea this fish would fear. Other fish run from bigger things. That's their instinct. But this fish doesn't run from anything. He doesn't fear.

I know now that the mythic monster I created was largely a fiction.

Sharks don't target human beings, and they certainly don't hold grudges.

Reputations rise and fall almost as regularly as the tides.

Without sharks, you take away the apex predator of the ocean, and you destroy the entire food chain

Abundance is not the absence of scarcity

A person isn't a bird. You can't cage a person.

Whether elected or appointed, public officials serve those who put and keep them in office. We cannot depend upon them to fight our battles.

Life is sacred? Who said so? God? Hey, if you read history, you realize that God is one of the leading causes of death.

Happiness is more effectually dispensed to mankind under a republican form of government than any other.

Good and bad; shade and sunlight, there's but a hair's breath between them. It's all one in the end.

The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.

At an early age Jesse often said he wanted to be a soldier, and before long he was one. He was there with his military brotherhood, fighting terrorism there so we wouldn't have to fight it here.

So most of the time when we are confronted by more, rather than a few, choices we're often novices and so we don't really know how to differentiate these various options.

Stick to your knitting (what you're good at), don't compromise, and don't suffer fools.
