Ooooooo. I like this one.
"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But I might, in my endless arrogance, say that a little differently. I wouldn't attempt to teach anyone about the sea, I would show them and let them come to their own conclusion. If they saw what I see, they would build the ship; otherwise, they should continue on their way.
"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather show them the endless immensity of the sea. Those that see what you see will build the ship." - The Third Level

Are you longing for the sea?
Always.
how is the ship building going, my friend? can you cast off from the shore yet?
"I'm almost there," said the glacier.
"It will be a long while yet," said the rock.
"Yes, but when I'm done, you'll be sand on a beach, kissed by the sea," answered the glacier.
"Something to look forward to," answered the smiling rock.
