Quote by Friedrich von Schiller

One can advise comfortably from a safe port.

One can advise comfortably from a safe port.

Summary

This quote implies that it is easy to give advice or express opinions when one is in a position of safety and security. When someone is far removed from the complexities and risks of real-life situations, they may not fully understand the challenges others face. It serves as a reminder that offering advice without firsthand experience or understanding can be insensitive or unhelpful. True understanding and empathy require experiencing the situation firsthand, rather than merely observing it from a place of comfort and safety.

People know what they love.. Even those whose lives are floundering. If they're directionless, it's not because they lack knowledge of what they want. It's because they lack the courage to acknowledge that they want it.
