I Find That The Great Thing In This World Is Not So Much Where We Stand, As In What Direction We Are Moving

I find that 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
