“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.”
Often attributed to Mark Twain, this quote appears to be much more recent than the work of the Sage of Hannibal, at least according to The Quote Investigator, my favorite site for verifying the source of many of the quotes you read here. The earliest print appearance they found was in the early 90’s in H. Jackson Brown’s P.S. I Love You, a book of quotes purportedly from Brown’s mother, although not all are directly attributed to her either. Brown is perhaps best known for Life’s Little Instruction Book, another compendium of advice and observation.
Just back from three weeks on the ocean, and staring into an ever shortening personal future, it seemed apropos to me, perhaps some of you will find it applicable as well.
Good Morning Gloucester
