"My wind cooling my broth Would blow me to an ague when I thought What harm a wind too great at sea might do. I should not see the sandy hourglass run, But I should think of shallows and of flats and see my wealthy Andrew docked in sand,

Vailing her high top lower than her ribs To kiss her burial. Should I go to church

And see the holy edifice of stone And not bethink me straight of dangerous rocks,

Which, touching but my gentle vessel’s side, Would scatter all her spices on the stream,Enrobe the roaring waters with my silks,And, in a word, but even now worth this,And now worth nothing? Shall I have the thought To think on this, and shall I lack the thought That such a thing bechanced would make me sad? But tell not me. I know Antonio Is sad to think upon his merchandise." 

This quote stood out to me because of its irony. Salarino see's that Antonio is sad, and he is trying to make him feel better, yet, by this quote he is only making it worse. Although, he tries to make him feel better, he is doing the exact opposite. He is telling Antonio of all the reasons why he would (assumes he is) be worried and sad about his cargo. In doing all this, he points out all the negative aspects of having cargo out at sea. This is not at all what Antonio is worried about, and Slararino, if anything, added to his sadness. He didn't make things better, nor did he cheer him up.
