Explore, dream, discover

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Mark Twain (or so I always thought!)

I recently came across this online article that indicates it is NOT Samuel Clements/Mark Twain wisdom ~ but regardless, the words and sentiment still resonate with me.

I used part of the quote on my most recent set of artist trading cards:
