Their Eyes Were watching God Quotes Chapter 1

"Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come with tide."


I believe this quote means that some men try very hard to accomplish something in life. As if they try for a very long time and still have ways to go. This quote also means that all things doesnt come easy. You do have to put work in to get success out. For some men it comes with conquences. With other men it may come a little easier.
I also believe this quote mean that some men sign up for things and never finish it. You have to be patient and really want what you signed up for. That your dream or wish may be far away but one day it will come. When that day comes your hard work and dedication will pay off. The fact that you didnt give up will pay off. That's what i believe this quote means.



"They, the men, were saving with their mind what they lost with the eye"


I believe this quote means that the men were being serious about what they were doing. This time they were going to do what was right instead of what looked right. Also i believe this means that the men were focusing on whats happening today instead of what they wanted for the next 5 years. I believe they were going to think before they jumped to conclusions about decisions that had to be made. Also that the men were saving what they had'nt already messed up.
Also that the men made decisions together. Instead of one person doing all the talking, they all had some input with their present plans. Also that the men didnt get caught up with eachother as much. they were able to make indiviual decisions that were beneficial for them
