Quote by Augustus Hare

Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel.

Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the ves

Summary

This quote metaphorically expresses that thoughts are like the wind, constantly changing and unpredictable. Knowledge acts as the sail, guiding and directing these thoughts. Mankind, embodied by the vessel, relies on both thoughts and knowledge to navigate through life's journeys. It suggests that the power of thinking and understanding is fundamental for humanity to progress and make informed decisions. Without thoughts and knowledge, mankind would aimlessly drift, lacking direction and purpose.
