“Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”

“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you until it seems that you cannot hold on for a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time when the tide will turn.”

“Never give up because you never know what the tide will bring in the next day.”

“Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.”

“Time is more complex near the sea than in any other place, for in addition to the circling of the sun and the turning of the seasons, the waves beat out the passage of time on the rocks and the tides rise and fall as a great clepsydra.”

“Focus on what you still have. Begin counting your blessings, and as you give it time nature will undulate. Soon the tide will turn. Soon, you will have another chance.”
