"It's your world, love... I'm just passing thru."
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ Mark Twain
"A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."--William Shedd "If you do not cut the moorings, God will have to break them by a storm and send you out. Launch all on God, go out on the great swelling tide of His purpose, and you will get your eyes open. If you believe in Jesus, you are not to spend all your time in the smooth waters just inside the harbour bar, full of delight, but always moored; you have to get out through the harbour bar into the great deeps of God and begin to know for yourself, begin to have spiritual discernment."--Oswald Chambers
Nice! That William Shedd quote is truly immortal. No matter how many different versions I see, it still has the same power... and thanks for the Chambers quote. That's new to me.Along the William Shedd lines:Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.~ Andre GideAnd along Chamber's lines:This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.~ The Holy Bible, Jeremiah 6:16, New International Version [excerpt]
