“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 the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

"For the truth is that I already know as much about my fate as I need to know. The day will come when I will die. So the only matter of consequence before me is what I do with my allotted time. I can remain on shore, paralyzed with fear, or I can raise my sails and dip and soar with the breeze."
- Richard Bode

"There are those that stand at the shore looking to the sea, wondering, and there are those standing at the helm looking back at shore, knowing."

they were merchants on the mighty waters.
24They saw the works of the Lord,
his wonderful deeds in the deep.
