I am a part of all that I have met.

To reach a port, we must sail - sail, not tie at anchor - sail, not drift.
We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.

The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
Those who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part.
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul.

The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
Islands are metaphors of the heart, no matter what poet says otherwise.
To escape and sit quietly on the beach - that's my idea of paradise.
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.

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