The Ships

"I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving - we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it - but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor."
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.


"My own experience has taught me this: if you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured it may never arrive. Oceans will not be sailed, mountains will not be climbed, races won or lasting happiness achieved."
- Maurice Chevalier


"A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."
- William Shedd
