Peace

The sea unites the countries it divides.

(A. Pope)

Loneliness

Alone, I sat in front of you and

in silence I heard you speaking. I

wanted to listen to you.

Hard WorkThey have boats that sail

early and they christen them with names of women, faith in God and fear of the sea, while welcoming the land at dawn.

Humble people, seafarers, faces tired for the hard work, their

looks already beyond the bow, ploughing the waves full of

dreams.

Hope

The sea, the great unifier, is man's

only hope. Now, as never before, the old phrase has a

literal meaning: We are all in the same

boat.

(J.Cousteau)

Challenge

It’s only through

commitment you can get a

complete victory.

Fear

Unpredictable, mysterious,

awaited, feared…

StrenghtBe always like the sea: when it breaks on the rocks, it

recovers its strength and tries again.

AnxietyThe sea is like a

friend with a thousand faces:

never monotonous,

never repetitive, never the same.

(S. Agnelli)

LifeOnly on the

horizon you can see the edge of the sea! On the right and on the left it’s nothing

but a populous and inhabited expanse.

(Goethe)

Amazement Each manifestation of Nature…

…has something wonderful. (Aristotle)

Freedom

Freedom is like the sea:

it can’t be confined and,

like the sea,a free man is free

for ever.

Serenity

Buoyed by water, he can fly in any

direction — up, down, sideways — by

merely flipping his hand. Under water,

man becomes an archangel.

(J.Cousteau)

RelaxThe sea is all blue,

the sea is all calm.

In the heart almost a scream of

joy. And all is calm. (S. Penna)

Game

To be able to laugh is one of the greatest privileges of

mankind.

(T. Carlyle)

The sea hasn’t got a country, it belongs to all the people who listen to it, here and there, where the sun rises and

where it sets. (G.Verga)

Three countries united by the same sea…
