τὸ ναυτικὸν τέχνης ἐστι… καὶ οὐκ ἐνδέχεται ὅταν τύχῃ ἐκ παρέργου μελετᾶσθαι
From LSJ
Ἡ γλῶσσ' ἁμαρτάνουσα τἀληθῆ λέγει → Inesse linquae veritas lapsae solet → Die Zunge, wenn sie in die Irre geht, spricht wahr
English > Greek (Woodhouse Quotes Reversed)
seamanship is a branch of art and does not admit of being studied as a mere pastime in spare moments
