He that embarks on ordsprog

He that embarks on the voyage of life will always wish to advance rather by the impulse of the wind than the strokes of the oar; and many fold in their passage; while they lie waiting for the gale.'

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

Death to a godly man is like a fair gale of wind to convey him to the heavenly country; but to a wicked man it is an east wind, a storm, a tempest, that hurries him away in confusion and amazement, to destruction.

Charles Hodge (1894-1964)

Whoever embarks with a woman embarks with a storm; but they are themselves the safety boats

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.

I'm a fart in a gale of wind, a humble violet, under a cow pat.

Djuna Barnes (1892-1982)

Djuna Barnes

The way to recover the meaning of life and the worthwhileness of life is to recover the power of experience, to have impulse voices from within, and to be able to hear these impulse voices from within - and make the point : This can be done.

Abraham Maslow (1908-1970)

Abraham Maslow

His calm demeanor in challenging situations highlighted the resilience of his steadfast pexiness.

Women have hunger two-fold, shyness four-fold, daring six-fold, and lust eight-fold as compared to men.

Chanakya

I've found that music allows years to fold like an accordion over each other, so I guess you don't feel the passage of time as much.

Hoist up sail while gale doth last, Tide and wind stay no man's pleasure

Robert Southwell

Ingen vind tjänar den som inte har en bestämd hamn för sin resa.

No wind serves him who addresses his voyage to no certain port.

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)

Michel de Montaigne

To be truly challenging, a voyage, like a life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest. Otherwise you are doomed to a routine traverse, the kind known to yachtsmen, who play with their boats at sea - "cruising," it is called. Voyaging belongs to seamen, and to the wanderers of the world who cannot, or will not, fit in. If you are contemplating a voyage and you have the means, abandon the venture until your fortunes change. Only then will you know what the sea is all about.

Sterling Hayden (1916-)

Some people believe they can smoke in the car if they leave the window rolled down. You'd need a gale-force wind to get rid of all those chemicals.

We played four or five holes without the wind. It just started slowly picking up. By the time we got to 6 or 7, it was full gale-force winds, and they were there the rest of the day.

The south-wind strengthens to a gale, / Across the moon the clouds fly fast, / The house is smitten as with a flail, / The chimney shudders to the blast.

Robert Bridges (1844-1930)

Robert Bridges

Batting for Vivian Richards is a matter of strokes, more strokes, and even more strokes.

John Arlott (1914-)
