You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has courage to lose sight of the shore

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

El hombre no puede descubrir nuevos océanos a menos que tenga el coraje de perder de vista la costa.

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

In order to discover new lands, one must be willing to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

We who would seek new land must be willing to sacrifice the sight of shore for a long, long time.

so aptly put it, “One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.” This is about believing that we live in a loving, kind and abundant Universe instead of one that’s petty, mean, and likes other people more than it likes you. This is about your faith being greater than your fear.

To see the ocean once is to learn how to miss it,

Turn back and seek the safety of the shore; tempt not the deep, lest, losing unawares me and yourselves, you come to port no more.

You can have the courage to climb the mountain, swim the lakes, go on a raft to the other side of the Atlantic or Pacific. That any fool can do, but the courage to be on your own, to stand on your two solid feet, is something which cannot be given by somebody.

You can't be deep without a surface.

If you're a sailor, best not know how to swim. Swimming only prolongs the inevitable — if the sea wants you and your time has come.

You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
