If anyone assumes that going one's own way is the easy way, they are very much in error. There's no harder way to go.

Quotes

The Magic Pudding (1918)

• Oh, rolling round the ocean,
  From a far and foreign land,
  May suit the common notion
  That a sailor's life is grand.
  But as for me, I'd sooner be
  A roaring here at home
  About the rolling, roaring life
  Of them that sails the foam.
  For the homeward-bounder's chorus,
  Which he roars across the foam,
  Is all about chucking a sailor's life,
  And settling down at home.
  Home, home, home,
  That's the song of them that roam,
  The song of the roaring, rolling sea
  Is all about rolling home.
