Since I grew tired ordsprog

en 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 Nietzsche

en 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

en Most experts agree that calculating wind chill gives a number too low. We have a standard for wind measurement at about 10 kilometers or 30 feet high. It's good for aviation use but it overestimates the wind speed. The wind down below is lighter (slower) than the wind at that height.

en Not I, not I, but the wind that blows through me! / A fine wind is blowing the new direction of Time.
  D.H. Lawrence

en You throw the sand against the wind

en 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

en The wind blows out of the gates of the day, The wind blows over the lonely of heart, And the lonely of heart is withered away
  William Butler Yeats

en Absence extinguishes small passions and increases great ones, as the wind blows out a candle, and blows in a fire.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en I have also learned why people work so hard to succeed: It is because they envy the things their neighbors have. But it is useless. It is like chasing the wind...It is better to have only a little, with peace of mind, than be busy all the time with both hands, trying to catch the wind.

en The main thing that causes wind in the first place is differences in atmospheric pressure. Generally, it blows from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas to balance things out. The bigger the pressure difference, the stronger the wind.
