People are drawn to the water, that’s for sure. It’s no different today than it was a century ago. If buildings could talk and wharfs could whisper, you’d come to know the bragging rights of sailors who boast over the fish that got away. The next time you’re in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, gather down around Martingale Wharf where together the Old Ferry Landing sets the stage for open-deck relaxation, warm-hearted conversation, waterfront dining, and an unbelievable view of bobbing tugboats on the Piscataqua River. Listen carefully. You never know the stories you’ll hear.
“Freedom is the open window
through which pours the sunlight
of the human spirit
and human dignity.”
~ Herbert Hoover
“Fortune is like glass –
the brighter the glitter,
the more easily broken.”
~ Publilius Syrus
“A truly strong person
does not need the approval
of others any more than a lion
needs the approval of sheep.”
~ Vernon Howard
“Life has got all those
twists and turns.
You’ve got to hold on tight
and off you go.”
~ Nicole Kidman
“The soul should always
stand ajar, ready to welcome
the ecstatic experience.”
~ Emily Dickinson
“Sunlight fell upon the wall;
the wall received a borrowed splendor.
Why set your heart on a
piece of earth, O simple one?
Seek out the source
which shines forever.”
~ Rumi
“Ambition is the germ
from which all growth
of nobleness proceeds.”
~ Oscar Wilde
