Sandrine | 6 comments Good morning,

I wanted to like that quote:

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

and was surprised it was reported as a quote from H. Jackson Brown as it is known to be from Mark Twain.

Can it be double checked and eventually changed?

Thank you,
Sandrine

Incorrectly. Note that one of the tags on that quote is misattributed-mark-twain.
