For sailors who love the wind, memory is a good port of departure.

There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South. Here in this pretty world, Gallantry took its last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave. Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind...

Nothing is a courtesy unless it be meant us, and that friendly and lovingly. We owe no thanks to rivers that they carry our boats, or winds that they be favoring and fill our sails, or meats that they be nourishing; for these are what they are necessarily. Horses carry us, trees shade us; but they know it not.

It strikes! one, two, Three, four, five, six. Enough, enough, dear watch, Thy pulse hath beat enough. Now sleep and rest; Would thou could'st make the time to do so too; I'll wind thee up no more.

Chance will not do the work. Chance sends the breeze; But if the pilot slumber at the helm, The very wind that wafts us tow'rds the port May dash us on the shoals. The steersman's part Is vigilance, or blow it rough or smooth.

Our doom is, to be sifted by the wind, heaped up, smoothed down like silly sands. We are less permanent than thought.

Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere Underneath my being is a road that disappeared Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead Overhead...

without fiction, either life would be insufficient or the winds from the north would blow too cold.

Every instance since the beginning of time has been a coincidence: A leaf in a tree embodies the combined efforts of the earth, water, wind, stars, and sunshine. When you realize that everything has led to the present, to this moment, you see there's nothing to be afraid of, nothing to be burdened by. The present moment is the moment of arrival - and it took the entire universe to create it. All is as it should be.

When I did Inherit the Wind, I learned about teaching school. I also found out what a fundamentalist was.

The primary cause of the pole failure was not deterioration of the poles, it was the wind loading on the poles and the wires. It wasn't a deterioration issue.

We are the voices of the wandering wind, Which moan for rest and rest can never find; Lo! as the wind is so is mortal life, A moan, a sigh, a sob, a storm, a strife.

Let's be wise as the silence, strong as the wind, useful as the light; let's make of our lips a censer of the virtues.

When trees are killed in fires, there is a lot of dead standing timber out there. Our fear is that eventually a wind storm will blow the dead trees over and create an enormous campfire effect across thousands of acres.

When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain. (Isaiah 57:13)

When they turn the wind tunnel up to 80 mph, you're not worried about driving the sled, you're not worried about going into or coming out of a curve, you really get a sense of how to have good aerodynamic position. You try picking your head up and you really feel the force.

When there's wind like this, there's a lot of job for us, a lot of job for us ... so many pieces.

The PKV Racing team played a little funny game waiting. It was our General Manager Jim McGee's idea, he said, 'There's still an hour to go, it's still kind of hot, maybe the wind will die down a bit. We need everything we can get for qualifying.' So we waited it out a bit and I think it paid off. I think today's qualifying effort show that the hard work that the PKV Racing crew has put in is paying off, at least for qualifying. Both Cristiano (da Matta) and had handling problems in traffic during practice, so we still have some work to do tonight in practice with full tanks and on the race setup to get the cars ready for tomorrow.

There are tremendous dollars in the wind power industry but now a great majority of investors are looking at the solar industry to achieve a higher rate of return. There's way too much money chasing wind projects so that investors are now competing over wind projects. A lot of them have already raised funds and want to place them in a tax advantaged way.

There are towns where this is readily accepted and towns where it isn't. It's important to us that it be accepted. We're not going to build a wind plant where it's not wanted.

We made a nice little run, but Clovis East had an answer to every run. I felt comfortable when we jumped on them a little bit in the third and I saw them breathing a little heavy, and I thought that our energy would pick up. But they were able to get a couple easy baskets and hit a couple 3's, and that took the wind out of our sails.

We're glad to see that sales in Europe have turned around. McDonald's said nothing about Asia so that could mean that they're still sucking wind there.

The legislator is like the navigator of a ship on the high seas. He can steer the vessel on which he sails, but he cannot alter its construction, raise the wind, or stop the waves from swelling beneath his feet.

Like all the wind was knocked out of you.

Letting in that first goal gave them some wind and it set us back.

Letting in that first goal gave them some wind and it set it us back. On the next shift they scored another one to put us behind the 8-ball.

Luckily, there is a wind of change happening in Hindi cinema. Good work is coming to people who are not conventionally good looking like Ranbir Kapoor or Akshay Kumar.

Luckily for us we just got more balls in the air than they did. These guys can do enough damage on their own but I guess if I can help out the cause, I'll keep doing it. If the wind is blowing out, we have a team that can put up some runs. That gives confidence to the starting pitching.

(Luca) wasn't that sharp, especially after he got the wind knocked out of him. We were able to get into their bullpen, which is really important in the third (game of the series).

L. R. H. in Clearing Procedure, 1957:"The work was free. Keep it so."Therefore, although we have no such stature as the Great Philosophies, I charge you with this - look to source writings, not to interpretations. Look to the original work, not offshoots. If I have fought for a quarter of a century, most of it alone, to keep this work from serving to uphold the enslavers of Man, to keep it free from some destructive "pitch" or slant, then you certainly can carry that motif a little further. I'll not always be here on guard. The stars twinkle in the Milky Way and the wind sighs for songs across the empty fields of a planet a Galaxy away. You won't always be here. But before you go, whisper this to your sons and their sons - "The work was free. Keep it so.

Making big wind isn't the same as creating a hurricane. The ultimate goal here is to have a full-scale structure immersed in a hurricane.

Low this morning was 10, but it felt a lot colder than that. Wind chills were a little below zero.

Love is that to life, what wind is to a windmill.

Last year, we didn't know that Jack wouldn't wind up dead. We know in general we'll avert a terrorist threat or conclude the conventional story, but we begin the year sort of pretending we have the first four to six. But even as we're writing those, they change.

Last year was totally opposite. My numbers - it's just one of those years. I don't know if the wind was blowing in or it was a little cold or the balls were flying out. If I did it every year, there would be something to it. But last year was totally opposite, so I have no clue what the difference is.

Learn what is true, in order to do what is right, is the summing up of the whole duty of man, for all who are unable to satisfy their mental hunger with the east wind of authority.

Many of the skippers said it was more like sailing in a real regatta. Rarely do you get to use all three sails, but we did this time. The wind created havoc as all boats came to the line for the starting gun.

Senator, I am one of them. You do not seem to understand who I am. I am a black woman, the daughter of a dining-car worker If my life has any meaning at all, it is that those who start out as outcasts can wind up as being part of the system.

So many gods, so many creeds, So many paths that wind and wind, While just the art of being kind Is all the sad world needs

On a day like today, with the wind blowing out, you should never give up on a game. We had opportunities early to extend the lead, but we never knocked them (Illinois State) to the canvas.

Some days are diamonds Some days are stones Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone Sometimes the cold wind blows a chill in my soul Some days are diamonds, some days are stone

She got the wind knocked out of her when she hit the court.

She could easily have never skied again. When you're 40, 50 feet in the air and a puff of wind comes along and kind of blows you off course, you can end up with a bad problem. ... It's like jumping out of a third-story window and landing on your feet.

She outran the wind to get back into the house.

Most storm damage is usually concentrated in one area, but with this wind storm, we had debris all over the entire length of the line. The damage and disruption was widespread.

Most people are like a falling leaf that drifts and turns in the air, flutters, and falls to the ground. But a few others are like stars which travel one defined path: no wind reaches them, they have within themselves their guide and path.

Motorola finally has the wind behind their back, ... The semiconductor industry is in the early stages of a recovery. We're really seeing the profitability of Motorola start to improve. We think that will continue over the next two quarters and during the second half of the year as well.

May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be ever at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rain fall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand. And may you be in Heaven a half hour before the devil knows you're dead.

May brooks and trees and singing hills join in the chorus too, and every gentle wind that blows send happiness to you.

My journey took a surprising turn in 1992. I left Boston and who would have ever thought I would wind up with the New York Yankees?

My immediate reaction was that our job had just increased by two or three years, but that the samples were still there. A 200 miles-per-hour crash isn't going to dislodge solar wind atoms that are buried in the collectors. It's going to take longer and people are going to have to work harder...but the samples are still there.

My last few starts I just haven't felt real strong on the mound, ... When I wind up in a hitter's count I find I can't power the ball past someone.

One learns more from listening than speaking.And both the wind and the people who continue to live close to nature still have much to tell us which we cannot hear within university walls.

October gave a party; The leaves by hundreds came - The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples, And leaves of every name. The Sunshine spread a carpet, And everything was grand, Miss Weather led the dancing, Professor Wind the band.

None of us played any good, to be honest. When the wind picks up, the golf course changes immensely.

None of us played any good, to be honest. The wind picked up, the golf course changes immensely. I was just a little quick. I don't know whether it was the wind or nerves or whatever it was.

My expectation is that based on the amount of chemical weapons in the pit and then what we've been told about wind patterns on that day and the disposition of forces ... there could be a very large number of troops included in a possible cloud area.

Men almost always wind up in a better situation after divorce. Women wind up in a worse situation.

No one's more surprised than me. Very surprised. I hadn't trained very hard this winter. It (the course) wasn't too bad. I was glad the wind and the rain held off.

Next time what I'd do is look at the earth before saying anything. I'd stop just before going into a house and be an emperor for a minute and listen better to the wind or to the air being still.

Obviously, it's been the hardest course. I'm looking forward to playing it. If the wind is not blowing, you can make some birdies. In turn, if the wind is blowing, a couple under is a great score.

Right now, Gordon's not posing much of a threat in terms of wind or storm surge. There's still a lot of rain over South Carolina and moving into North Carolina. There is the potential for flooding during the day.

Politicians can flip in no time, depending on where the political wind is blowing. The company is concerned and doing the right thing by educating the public.

One of my favorites is The Sound of Music. When Julie Andrews runs through the hills singing her head off, I always wish that a gust of wind would blow her skirt up.

I was really struggling with the wind today. I couldn't really figure out which way it was blowing. The conditions were very tough and Vera just dealt with it much better.

I was surprised that they just let me wind the clock down and take a shot. I told my teammates that I was going to wind it down. ... I was hoping if I did miss, the ball would bounce and the time would run out.

I was seven shots back at the beginning of the day. When you are far back like that, you are just trying to come out and shoot maybe a few under par. You just have to position yourself well, and hope the wind blows and guys don't hit good shots and you have a chance to be close to the leaders on the final day.

I was seeing the ball really well today, ... I knew I needed to be aggressive. There was a lot of wind out there, they were not easy conditions.

I was so nervous out there in the fairway. I hit a great shot and the wind came my way at the right time.

I wouldn't want to put a top on it at the moment. It has still got a lot of wind in its sales.

I would have to say anyone within five shots of the lead has a pretty good shot if the wind blows. If it stays calm, maybe not.

I would have liked to run a lot more laps today to continue with the good set-up direction we found yesterday, so it's disappointing that the wind was so strong. But at least we've got a good base setting for this circuit now so have a good starting point at the race here in a few weeks. I'm feeling totally at home on the FP1 and around this circuit and have just really enjoyed testing these last four days.

I was praying for the wind to be here today, which I actually thought was my only chance.

If we go into the communities and say, 'We'd like to put a wind farm here,' and they all say, 'Not in our backyard,' then we might not be able to meet our goals.

If we get one in there and just get back a little bit from that wind blowing everywhere, we would have been fine. But that's OK.

If we get a good wind and low humidity, it will be just like Saturday. The fire could pick up and take off again.

If we do wind up with extra money, it would be my wish we use it for salaries.

If we had predicted the damage in advance of what Hurricane Wilma would inflict, based on its wind speeds and path, we would have predicted almost exactly the number of poles that failed.

If we're not going to be here ... we'll have to talk about what possible way we might wind this up,

If the setups take too long, you wind up losing momentum. Momentum is very good for comedy. Not having to do eight setups in a single scene and have it take five hours is very good for comedy.

If there wouldn't have been a 40 mph wind at your back, that doesn't go in.

I got the wind knocked out of me badly so it took about half way through before I got my wind back, and I fell on my leg so it kind of went numb on me. But it was enough. That's what today is about.

I got some easy outs in some quick innings with some changeups to the lefties, ... Coming back and taking the lead, giving us momentum after the fifth inning, I just started feeling strong and stronger. I felt like my fastball was livelier. The wind stopped pushing so much at my back, which I think made my breaking ball a little bit better because early on I didn't think it was good.

I have enormous friendship and respect with Tom Daschle. Always have had and always will have. And I have nothing but admiration and respect for what he is trying to do with this in the Senate. As he said yesterday, it doesn't matter where you start, what matters is where you wind up. We have different bodies and we have different ways of dealing with it,

I didn't want to be on the court so long. I was hoping I would have an easier match, I mean a shorter one. Conditions were very difficult and I'm just happy to get through. The wind was really swirling around and it was difficult to play at both ends of the court.

I don't get into semantics. The wind will always blow. It's always going to be hot or cold. You just have to go out there and play.

I'd like to see the wind blow a little harder for the rest of the day. Maybe a little rain will be good, ... slim to none.

I'd love to be able to transition what I do into screenplays that ultimately wind up on the silver screen, television series, and like film projects.

I don't know that I have a good solution to the problem. Now we have another challenge in public education: It's not about wind speed, it's about storm surge. I have some bold ideas but I'm not going to come and say this is what we're going to do. There's a certain percentage of the population that aren't going to leave, I don't care what.

I don't know what's going on. I don't know if the wind has blown something in, or if it has stopped blowing something out.

I don't care what happened last week, last year, last month, what the overall record between the two teams was going back to 1947 or whenever they started playing each other, or who wins when the wind is blowing in from the north. I pay attention to what the matchups are for each individual game.

I don't believe in angels, no. . . . But I do have a wee parking angel. It's on my dashboard and you wind it up. The wings flap and it's supposed to give you a parking space. It's worked so far.
