"You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore"
Original french quote from André Gide and not Christopher Colombus.
On ne peut découvrir de nouvelles terres sans consentir à perdre de vue le rivage pendant une longue période."
A more word-to-word translation "You will never discover new lands without willingly losing sight of the shore for a long time."
A quote to embrace the adventures in life.
