A sailor chooses the wind that takes the ship from a safe port. Ah, yes, but once you're abroad, as you have seen, winds have a mind of their own. Be careful, Charlotte, careful of the wind you choose.

About 95% of people can be compared to ships without rudders. Subject to every shift of wind and tide, they're helplessly adrift. And while they fondly hope that they'll one day drift into a rich and successful port, you and I know that for every narrow harbor entrance, there are a 1,000 miles of rocky coastline. The chances against their drifting into port are 1,000 to one.

Earl Nightingale

If you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favourable.

Seneca the Younger

The wind is never for the sailor who knows not to what port he is bound.

Og Mandino

If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Eduardo Galeano

If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favourable.

Seneca the Younger

If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.

Seneca the Younger

No wind serves him who addresses his voyage to no certain port.

Michel de Montaigne

If a man does not know what port he is steering for, no wind is favorable to him.

Seneca the Elder

If a man does not know to what port he is steering, no wind is favorable to him. Ignoranti quem portum petat, nullus suus ventus est.

Seneca the Younger

Ned Lamont

Religion's biggest crime is to slow down the Human's Intellectual Evolution! It creates an illusion as if there is a safe port somewhere. The truth is that there is no safe port; man is in emptiness! Intellectual Evolution is our only chance to build a safe port by ourselves!
