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.

Tg83Number of messages: 29 | My suggest would be : To the one that doesn't know where he want to sail (or steer) no wind will be favorable
The german text says WER nicht weiss = Who desn't know, not A man. | | |

"...wohin ER..." says it is a man. |
