“If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.”
Seneca
“To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes
“One ship drives east and other drives west by the same winds that blow. It's the set of the sails and not the gales that determines the way they go.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
“Whether the boat you are sailing is big or small, the winds are the same. A sailor goes from one point of land to another, but in the circus we sail from one dream to another. With a smaller boat, it's easier to navigate around the icebergs.”
Daniele Finzi Pasca
“That took a lot of wind out of our sails. A lot of guys said 'Oh my' after that one. It was a bad snap and a bad punt.”
Carroll McCray
“It's not the towering sail, but the unseen wind that moves the ship”
Proverb
“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.”
William Arthur Ward
