Words to live by?

Avast there,
As much as I would like to take credit, the quote is Sterling Hayden''s. And though I tend to agree with what he said, there is a lot more that can be said on the subject.
I have to agree that there is a lot fear, arrogance and stupiditiy out there but I wouldn''t limit that to yachtsmen. And as far as integrity and honor, those attributes are rare in all walks of life and all relationships.
The key issue for me being a married man who although perhaps frustrated by my partners reluctance to cast off the shackles of security, I nevertheless am obligated to honor the commitment I made 20+ years ago and do not have the option of being able to give myself over to the dream and curse the rest. At least not at this time.
