A Quote by Terry Pratchett

The world is a globe — the farther you sail, the closer to home you are. — © Terry Pratchett
The world is a globe — the farther you sail, the closer to home you are.
The farther away, the closer the home becomes.
Sail on, sail on, o' might Ship of State. To the shores of need, past the reefs of greed, through the squalls of hate. Sail on, sail on, sail on.
Most people sabotage themselves because they aren't mindful in the moment. Let your daily actions be governed by your goals & dreams. Whenever you are making an important decision first ask if it gets you closer to your goals or farther away. If the answer is closer, pull the trigger. If it's farther away make a different choice. Conscious choice making is a critical step in making your dreams a reality.
The closer a husband and wife get to God, the closer they get to each other. The farther away they get from God, the farther they get from each other.
Here is the paradox of the thing we call freedom: the farther we wander from God and the more we try to break free from him, the more enchained we become. Every step we take away from Him leads us farther from the freedom of Jesus and closer to the cruelty of Cain.
Where great whales come sailing by, Sail and sail, with unshut eye, Round the world for ever and aye.
To reach a port, we must sail - sail, not tie at anchor - sail, not drift.
The farther the experiment is from theory, the closer it is to the Nobel Prize.
Get ready for a smaller world. Soon, your food is going to come from a field much closer to home, and the things you buy will probably come from a factory down the road rather than one on the other side of the world. You will almost certainly drive less and walk more, and that means you will be shopping and working closer to home. Your neighbours and your neighbourhood are about to get a lot more important in the smaller tworld of the none-too-distant-future.
Some journeys take you farther from where you come from, but closer to where you belong.
The farther behind I leave the past, the closer I am to forging my own character.
The more you know the stronger you become, the closer you feel to yourself and the farther you can go.
I feel like I'm getting closer and closer to myself with time, not only in terms of my career choices, but the choices I make within one role or performance. I used to compose characters that were farther from me, but I find now that I like to craft a subtle composition, a subtle change in your essence.
When my dad founded our church, he used either a globe or a map of the world behind him. It was symbolic of what Christ said: to go forth and preach hope to the world. We believe in the cross, but we just continued with the globe.
You mortals are like fish swimming in a globe of glass. That globe is your world. You do not see beyond it.
All of the wisdom of this world is but a tiny raft upon which we must set sail when we leave this earth. If only there was a firmer foundation upon which to sail, perhaps some divine word.
