Do not hover always on the surface of things, nor take up suddenly, with mere appearances; but penetrate into the depth of matters, as far as your time and circumstances allow, especially in those things which relate to your profession.

But in answer . . .

He who has a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.
- Friedrich Nietzsche

as for breathing underwater. . .

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.
- Walt Disney

I'm about to buy a dry suit

Distrust any enterprise that requires new clothes.- Henry David Thoreau

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

"The ocean is a desert with its life underground and the perfect disquise above...."

America the band. And yes two of them are divers and I had the pleasure of taking them diveing.


PS if you do put this on a shirt send one to Dewey. Aparrently his mother sews diveshirts he collects into quilts. Who knows it may end up in the smithsonian someday.

So what's happening with this contest?

Do members get to decide which quote is the winner via a poll of some sort?
