I find the great thing in this world is 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 must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.
Louisa May Alcott
“I can't control the wind but I can adjust the sail.”
Ricky Skaggs
