Ships don’t sink because of the water around them

[Paul Whybrow]

Ships don’t sink because of the water around them; Ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don’t let what is happening around you get inside you and weigh you down.

Reminds me of another quote:
A ship in harbour is safe. But that's not what ships are for.

At one time sailing was my life and one thing I learnt is that for boats land is more dangerous than water. It puts holes in them.
