“God provides the wind, Man must raise the sail. ”
“The winds of God's grace are always blowing, it is for us to raise our sails.”
“The wind of God is always blowing... but you must hoist your sail.”
“If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.”
“I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving—we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it—but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.”
“I certainly never feel discouraged. I can’t myself raise the winds that might blow us or this ship into a better world. But I can at least put up the sail so that when the winds comes, I can catch it”.”
