The tongue is the rudder of our ship. [ Proverb ]

He who will not answer to the rudder, must answer to the rocks. [ Herve ]

Zeal without humility is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment. [ Feltham ]

Let the day have a blessed baptism by giving your first waking thoughts into the bosom of God. The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day. [ Beecher ]

Man is the will and woman is the sentiment. In this ship of humanity, Will is the rudder and Sentiment the sail; when woman affects to steer, the rudder is only a masked sail. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]

We are never without a pilot. When we know not how to steer, and dare not hoist a sail, we can drift. The current knows the way, though we do not. The ship of heaven guides itself, and will not accept a wooden rudder. [ Emerson ]
