“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things
that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the
bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in
your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” --- H. Jackson Brown Jr in
"P.S. I Love You"

Kind regards
Felix
