Lewis Carroll's quote from Alice in Wonderland emphasizes the importance of having a clear direction or goal in life. Without a destination in mind, choosing a specific path becomes meaningless, as there is no purpose guiding the journey.

This saying highlights that knowing one's destination helps in making purposeful decisions. It suggests that in life, having a clear aim provides direction, and without it, any path will lead nowhere significant.
