“The sea is dangerous and its storms terrible, but
these obstacles have never been sufficient reason
to remain ashore… Unlike the mediocre,
intrepid spirits seek victory over those things that
seem impossible… It is with an iron will that they
embark on the most daring of all endeavors… to
meet the shadowy future without fear and
conquer the unknown.”

Ferdinand Magellan
