Did Antoine de Saint-Exupery really say it?
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood. Instead, teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
Really: Unknown
This exact line is not in his books. It is a loose paraphrase of a passage in his 1948 book Citadelle.
How to post it: Say inspired by Saint-Exupery, not a direct quote.
