Many of our troubles are God dragging us, and they would end if we would stand upon our feet and go whither He would have us go.
Rivers are roads which move, and which carry us whither we desire to go.
Needy knife-grinder! whither are ye going? Rough is the road, your wheel is out of order; Bleak blows the blast-your hat has got a hole in it. So have your breeches.
I know not whence I came, nor whither I go, nor who I am.
No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going.
