If you don’t know where you’re going then any road leads you there

By Lewis Caroll

If you don’t know where you’re going then any road leads you there.

This quote is a simplified summary of a conversation between Alice and the Cheshire Cat from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland:

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.
“I don’t much care where–” said Alice.
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
“-so long as I get SOMEWHERE,” Alice added as an explanation.
“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”

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