I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving

If those are indeed the exact words of Mr Holmes I'm afraid they don't do justice to whatever clever point he was trying to make. Perhaps it is important to consider the direction we're moving, but the quote says he believes where we're headed is great. I doubt he meant that.
