	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Hi merdogan, Your translation looks fine, however, this is a largely known quote by Seneca and it reads in English as: "If a man does not know what port he is steering for, no wind is favorable to him" Even not being literal translations, I think quotes and proverbs should be presented as they are known in the target language.
