    The reference I found that goes with it says only that it is Antoine de Saint-Exupery, but not which of his writings it is from, and all I have from him in the house is in French (sigh) so I can’t tell you exactly what it’s from, but  I LOVED it:

     

    If you want to build a ship, don’t give people orders to gather wood.  Rather, teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”

    Thought this was very CM even if Saint-Exupery was an existentialist.  🙂
