Pub Quotes

My local pub, which is very good, have decided to promote intellectual discussion amongst their patrons by writing up random quotes on the walls around the pub.

Some of them come from such famous people as Benjamin Franklin:
"Beer is the proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy"

However the obscure quote award goes to the following:
"To fly as fast as thought, you must begin by already knowing you have arrived."
Now the question is whether this is truly profound, and simply operates at far too high a level for me and the rabble I drag to the pub with me, or is it simply stupid? I just don't know...
