non omnium est virorum Corinthum navigatio –> it's not for every man to make a journey to Corinth
Cf. Horace, Epistles 1.17.36. The proverb is a translation of the old Greek adage, οὐ παντὸς ἀνδρὸς ἐς Κόρινθον ἔσθ' ὁ πλοῦς, which referred to the great expense of a self-indulgent life at Corinth, a seaport abounding in ladies of flexible virtue.

οὐ παντός πλεῖν ἐς Κόρινθον ->  it's not for every man to make a journey to Corinth, not everyone can afford a trip to Corinth
