"When the horizon seems endless, remember that every journey is measured one wave at a time."

Since ancient times, lighthouses have guided mariners through dangerous waters. The Pharos of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, set the standard that would be followed for millennia.
