A captain who does not know where he wants to sail, there is no wind on Earth that will bring him there.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No wind serves him who addresses his voyage to no certain port.
Once we agree on the future, the present will be much easier. A captain who does not know where he wants to sail, there is no wind on Earth that will bring him there. We have first to decide where we want to go, where we want to sail.
If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.
He is the best sailor who can steer within fewest points of the wind, and exact a motive power out of the greatest obstacles.
Thought is the wind and knowledge the sail.
If a man knows not what harbor he seeks, any wind is the right wind.
To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor.
He enters the port with a full sail.
The man who voyages strange seas must of necessity be a little unsure of himself. It is the man with the flashy air of knowing everything, who is always with it, that we should beware of.
Those who want to row on the ocean of human knowledge do not get far, and the storm drives those out of their course who set sail.
