Quote by John Florio

Wisdom sails with wind and time.

Wisdom sails with wind and time.

Summary

This quote suggests that wisdom is a dynamic and ever-changing entity that moves and adapts, just like the wind and time. It implies that wisdom cannot be stagnant or fixed, but rather it evolves with the passing of time and is shaped by the currents of experience and knowledge. Like a sailing ship propelled by the wind, wisdom is fluid, flexible, and constantly in motion, as it is influenced by the changing circumstances and the accumulation of knowledge over time.
