Samuel Eliot Morison

Quotes

• “A tough but nervous, tenacious but restless race [the Yankees]; materially ambitious, yet prone to introspection, and subject to waves of religious emotion.”

• “He [Columbus] enjoyed long stretches of pure delight such as only a seaman may know, and moments of high, proud exultation that only a discoverer can experience.”

• “On her first voyage, the Columbia had solved the riddle of the China trade. On her second, empire followed in the wake.”
