Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return. Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover. A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for. War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus. Better to jump in the water and learn to swim than stand on the shore wondering. I knew when I met you an adventure was going to happen.
