“They say in old stories that you can't discover new lands without losing sight of the shore for a long time.”

“One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.”

“On ne découvre pas de terre nouvelle sans consentir à perdre de vue, d'abord et longtemps, tout rivage.(One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore.)”

“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.”

“If you want to succeed in the world you must make your own opportunities as you go on. The man who waits for some seventh wave to toss him on dry land will find that the seventh wave is a long time a-coming. You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the road side until someone comes along and invites you to ride with him to wealth or influence”

“You cannot discover new oceans until you are willing to lose sight of the shore.”

“If you dare not lose sight of the present shore, you will never find new land.”
