It is not the desirer of desires who attains peace but he into whom all desires enter, as the waters enter the ocean, which is full to the brim and grounded in stillness.
The Bhagavad-Gita, II, 70 (Translated by Swami Nikhilananda)
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; these see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
Psalm 107:23, 24

There are Alexander Selkirk's last words to Steele, remembering Juan Fernández: "I am now worth 800 Pounds, but shall never be so happy, as when I was not worth a Farthing." He did not mean it in any ordinary sense, and he might have added, if he had known the lines: ... la sua volontate è nostra pace, "His Will is our peace" - something he had found and lost and did not find again in that life.

An account of a remarkable voyage. In August 1708, two privately owned men-of-war, the Duke and the Dutchess (sic.) set out from Bristol under the command of Woodes Rogers, Thomas Dover, Stephen Courtney, Captain Edward Cooke and William Dampier. They operated as privateers in the Spanish-controlled seas of South America, one of the first British expeditions in the region, during which they captured 20 ships and rescued Alexander Selkirk, who had been marooned on one of the islands of Juan Fernandez, and who became the model for Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.
