About this Quote

Stephen Gardiner's quote suggests that land represents stability and familiarity while the sea symbolizes the uncertainties and unknowns of life. Land works as a structure for one's home and offers a complacency and stability. In contrast, the sea represents the vastness of life and the dangers that feature the unknown. It can be viewed as a metaphor for the uncharted territory that people should browse throughout their lives. By comparing land and sea, Gardiner stresses the importance of finding security and convenience in what is understood while likewise acknowledging the requirement to venture into the unknown in order to grow and experience brand-new things.
