Direction

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, shall not drift, nor lie at anchor. – Oliver Wendell Holmes



I assume that Mr. Holmes, since he did not capitalize “heaven,” was talking about earthly rewards rather than the hereafter, though he may have meant both destinations. To put this in a more common vernacular, “Go for it.”
