It is not the going out of port, but the coming in, that determines the success of the voyage.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker uses a voyage to distinguish beginning from completing something successfully. Leaving port is only the start; the judgment comes with arrival. Read more broadly, the comparison places value on the outcome of an undertaking, rather than treating the act of setting out as enough.
