Scripture taken from

The Holy Bible: King James Version
 Sail, Dont Drift

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