So hoist up the John B. sail. See how the main sail sets. I'm full in my heart and my head and I want to go home, with a book in each hand, in the way I had planned. I feel so broke up, I want to go home.

John Allyn Smith Sails

Therefore we should not try to alter circumstances but to adapt ourselves to them as they really are, just as sailors do. They don't try to change the winds or the sea but ensure that they are always ready to adapt themselves to conditions. In a flat calm they use the oars; with a following breeze they hoist full sail; in a head wind they shorten sail or heave to. Adapt yourself to circumstances in the same way.

 

Bion of Borysthenes

 

So it's home again, and home again, America for me!
My heart is turning home again, and there I long to be,
In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars!

 

Henry Van Dyke

 

I can't believe that I would keep, keep you from flying
And I would cry a thousand more
if that's what it takes to sail you home.

 

Tori Amos

 

My light shall be the moon
And my path, the ocean.
My guide, the morning star
As I sail home to you.

 

Enya

 

Where great whales come sailing by,
Sail and sail, with unshut eye,
Round the world for ever and aye?
When did music come this way?
Children dear, was it yesterday?

 

Matthew Arnold
