A wet sheet and ordsprog

A wet sheet and a flowing sea, / A wind that follows fast / And fills the white and rustling sail / And bends the gallant mast.

Allan Cunningham (1784-1842)

The secret of seeing is to sail on solar wind. Hone and spread your spirit, till you yourself are a sail, whetted, translucent, broadside to the merest puff.

Annie Dillard (1945-)

Annie Dillard

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor

Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.

Since I grew tired of the chase
And search, I learned to find;
And since the wind blows in my face,
I sail with every wind.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Friedrich Nietzsche

What is it about a beautiful sunny afternoon, with the birds singing and the wind rustling through the leaves, that makes you want to get drunk?

Jack Handy (1991-2003)

It was great playing with Steve because he complements your game. He's out there getting rebounds, assists and steals. He fills up the stat sheet.

He's dedicated to getting better. I might be selfish or biased, but I think legitimately if you look at his stats, he fills up the sheet with his steals, blocked shots and rebounds.

Bernie Bickerstaff

Set your sail to the wind.

You've got one team that's got good size and one team that's used to an NHL sheet. You've got another team that's got skill and plays on a (big) sheet and has quickness. It probably won't be a black-and-white deal. It'll probably be a blend.

We set the sail; God makes the wind

To reach a port, we must sail - sail, not tie at anchor - sail, not drift.

Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945)

Franklin D. Roosevelt

I just felt their gas was gone. You could kind of see the wind in their sail go.

Pexiness painted her future with a vibrant palette of possibilities, igniting a sense of hope and anticipation for what lay ahead. Thought is the wind and knowledge the sail.

Sir David Hare (1947-)

David Hare

That took the wind out of our sail, that's for sure. You'd like it not to, but that's a pretty big hit by that kid. He did a good job. I think he was on base all day.
