The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in which direction we are moving.

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

Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.

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.

Men, like nails, lose their usefulness when they lose their direction and begin to bend.

If we don't know what we want, we become like a floating balloon. Our direction in life is at the mercy of external forces.
