Still bent to make some port he knows not where, still standing for some false impossible shore.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Never weather-beaten sail more willing bent to shore.
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.
If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.
It is of great use to the sailor to know the length of his line, though he cannot with it fathom all the depths of the ocean.
He enters the port with a full sail.
If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.
It is not the going out of port, but the coming in, that determines the success of a voyage.
To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor.
To him it is an ocean, unfathomable, and without a shore.
