Sea
One of the larger bodies of salt water, less than an ocean, found on the earth's surface; a body of salt water of second rank, generally forming part of, or connecting with, an ocean or a larger sea; as, the Mediterranean Sea; the Sea of Marmora; the North Sea; the Carribean Sea.
An inland body of water, esp. if large or if salt or brackish; as, the Caspian Sea; the Sea of Aral; sometimes, a small fresh-water lake; as, the Sea of Galilee.
The ocean; the whole body of the salt water which covers a large part of the globe.
The swell of the ocean or other body of water in a high wind; motion of the water's surface; also, a single wave; a billow; as, there was a high sea after the storm; the vessel shipped a sea.
A great brazen laver in the temple at Jerusalem; -- so called from its size.

Sea Quotations
Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones.
William Shakespeare
There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare
We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.
John F. Kennedy
Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave.
Thomas Jefferson
When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.
Eric Cantona
A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea.
Honore de Balzac
Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Khalil Gibran
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Khalil Gibran
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
Khalil Gibran
