QOTD: … teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea

“If you want to build a ship, don’t herd people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupery

    Awesome quote there. Loved it!

    Just wondering if you travel outside the boundaries of your nation. Have you visit a country called Nepal ?

    Step out that boundary, see some real poor people with magnificent smiles of the planet!

    have a great day today. I will be coming back to read your post. Didn’t know how to respond, just an amateur blogger…. but loves to promote a beautiful part of this earth… “Nepal”

    “the endless immensity of the sea” eh? Has anybody thought of how long endless is, and how LITTLE there is to do after a while on a ship? Such thoughts would make me give up entirely. Now, thinking of all the many places the ship I was helping to build would travel, and that I would help them do it…now THAT’s incentive!

    Sue Palmer: Well that would work too “teach them to long for foreign places” or something.

    Love love love this quote, I think this should be engraved on the front door of every school in the world.
