"I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea,
except I think it's because in addition to the fact that the sea changes,
and the light changes, and ships change, it's because we all came from the sea.
And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the
exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and,
therefore, we have salt in our blood, our sweat, and in our tears.
We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to
sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence we came."
--Pres. John F. Kennedy

I find the
great thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what
direction we are moving. To reach the port of heaven, we sail sometimes
against with the wind, we sail sometimes with the wind, but we must
sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor. -Oliver Wendell Holmes-

Twenty years
from now you will be disappointed by things you didn't do than by the
ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe
harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore. Dream. Discover.

There is no
thrill in easy sailing when the skies are clear and blue, there is no
joy in merely doing things which any one can do. But there is some
satisfaction that is mighty sweet to take, when you reach a destination
that you thought you'd never make.
