Wind Quotations | Page 7

I am currently having the best of times in Wind in the Willows here in London. A pair of tights and a twitchy mustache are always a good start to Christmas.

Certainly after the 9-0 run late it took the wind out of our sails.

Cause who's gonna figure the man out? We want an answer for everything, but he can't give you the answer! You know the man through his art, and he's still going. He doesn't know where he's gonna wind up. He's trying to get home. Like all of us, I guess.

But those filters are no longer made of cotton. There are over 90 active toxins in cigarette filters. And because they're light, they can travel by wind or water and get into water systems. They're little, but lethal.

But it's one of the most exclusive in terms of the audience that will be holding it in their hands, and it will have a life long after the event. We've been told that these become collectibles and that some of them will be stolen and that they'll wind up being sold on eBay (the online auction site).

Businesses aren't eligible for federal flood insurance, and a normal commercial policy would not cover the peril of rising waters, ... Clearly there are going to be difficult loss adjustment issues arising out of Katrina, where you have rising water and wind damage.

Building standards in the Gulf Coast region are not as stringent as other hurricane-prone regions. We expect this contributed to increased wind damage.

Based on what I heard him say yesterday, I'm highly encouraged for our area and specifically for the people in Picayune. I was able to speak with the president and tell him we are the first high spot not affected by flooding, though we did have a lot of wind damage and debris. I told him we had one of the best locations to begin the recovery process he had alluded to - getting industry and business back to work, ... As we all know, there would be more stability, hope and encouragement if could get this done.

Basically, we didn't get the wind first in overtime. That's not why they scored, but psychologically it was a factor. It was very much a factor all day.

I'm a little bummed that we had a strong head wind like we did. I haven't run that slow in a long time.

I felt good coming into the round. I was hitting the ball really well. I didn't really get off to the start I had in mind. I had difficulty scoring and then on the back nine, the wind picked up and it got really difficult.

I can tell you that a wind sprint at 9,000 feet is not fun.

I found one that is less obtrusive than some. It sounds more like a wind chime than a regular ring tone. Of course, any ring tone, however subtle, is going to get on your co-workers' nerves if you leave it on.

Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving, We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it.

Growing up in Ireland, you learn how to play the wind. Or if you don't, you don't play golf, one or the other. Yeah, I like the conditions here. I'm very comfortable here. I'd be happy to see a bit of wind this week.

Given the fact that you can count on one hand the number of other towns in Maine that have a wind turbine ordinance -- if there's any at all, I think it's unrealistic to expect us to get together an ordinance from scratch that covers all the safety issues.

give everyone a sense of equilibrium and ... of where the rule is going to wind up.

Frankly, Fort Pierce is not regarded, as we say, as the shining city on the coast. Frankly it's had a poor self image. But gradually, I think what's happening is people on the Treasure Coast are moving away from 'Fort Pierce has problems' to 'Oh my God, Fort Pierce has Earth, Wind and Fire.

Freshly blows the wind homewards: my Irish child, where are you dwelling?

For quite a while I think we had the wind in our face. Where the company is positioned today, we have the wind at our back.

From what I can tell, it's a good deal for the city, where we can wind up with four soccer fields replacing one, for instance.

If a band of strong wind and rain is coming into the Western Isles of Scotland, with its population of 25,000 or 30,000, then that is significant for them. But if the major urban areas are not affected then it is a good idea not to focus on that first if the majority of the country is fine and settled.

I ended up running a bit wide in a corner when a gust of wind pushed the car from behind, when I had no more room to brake.

From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls;And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.'What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me today?What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away.''Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought.His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest;And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.''O Boromir! The Tower of Gaurd shall ever northward gazeTo Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.'

Fortunately we had the wind going in our favor. He got it up in the wind. On a given night, it doesn't go out.

Giving up runs early, I'm sure it takes the wind out of our sails. It's not their fault.

Giving customers a view into the status of their dealings with you turns out to be the highest value, and in some ways it's not high risk, ... A lot of companies have problems with the transaction piece, doing that first. They wind up getting all tangled up in their underwear when it comes to security, order entry, and 'Are we doing a complete job?'

Globalization is not something we can hold off or turn off . . . it is the economic equivalent of a force of nature -- like wind or water.

I got a lot out of it; it made me a much better man. But with the age people wind up going through two different cycles in their lives.

If those drivers were just with Busch teams, I think everything would be fine. It's their research and development, their constant testing and wind tunnel time; it's hard to compete with those types of teams.

If that extreme wind sustains itself for as much as six seconds on a building it's going to cause rupturing damages that are serious no matter how well it's engineered. So I think that it's immaterial what will happen with winds stronger than 156 miles per hour. That's the reason why we didn't try to go any higher than that,

He trusts me with his clubs because I've played with him my whole life. I know how far he hits it. Around here it's just tough with which way the wind is blowing. Usually we're pretty consistent with our club selection. But he does most of the reads.

I always loved running / it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.

He whose wisdom exceeds his works, to what may he be likened? To a tree whose branches are numerous but whose roots are few. The wind comes along and uproots it and sweeps it down.

He's been a dream to coach. Not only is he a nice player, but he works extremely hard. He wins every wind sprint when he really doesn't have to.

He has got a second wind I guess. He takes good care of himself and he's a strong guy. When it gets late in the game and he starts chalking up pitches, he doesn't really lose a whole lot.

He did a nice job. We pitched well, gave up some hits, but the wind was blowing out and it was a hard infield so it was fast, I thought we did well on the mound against a good hitting team.

He had a couple good innings, then his pitch count got a little elevated and we were hoping that he could get through six. He found a second wind and he got through seven and eight.

He got it up and the wind helped. It kept going.

We can go online and see the wind direction and see when ash is going to fall. Before, it just happened, now there's more preparation.

We expect to see significant damage to residential and commercial properties near and to the east of Rita's track.

Whatever situation they wind up in, their business model will continue. They do a great job running their business.

There is a strong wind blowing now and the track is firming up nicely. We put 5mm of irrigation on last night and it was a dead 5 early this morning. We're hoping it will be a good 3 by race time tomorrow.

There is no easy way, or a good time, to let someone know that their contract will not be renewed. We didn't want him to twist in the wind another night.

We talked about when we had the wind at our right back, we wanted to use it to play it up and over into the opposite wing.

We talked about the wind before the game. We told the girls that it would push balls across the net and we had to be ready for that from the far side. Kelsey did a great job in the net dealing with the wind.

We took advantage of the long ball when we had a strong wind to our backs in the first half. The second half was all about keeping possession for us.

With me being four off the lead then of course I will need any advantage I can get, and if the wind does blow it might help me. The course played difficult and I am surprised how good the scoring is and how many guys are under par - I thought level par would be a good score.

We thought we had it under control. Then the wind changed.

To copy Nature? A boy with a camera can do that. To get the spirit of Nature? A woodman or a shepherd can follow the trail of the whistling wind to hoarded sunshine in distant wolds.

Here's the thing that's facing those two kids. They're on a descending order list right now. Josh is 15th in the nation, Ellie is 7th in the pole vault. What they've got to do, they have to try and take their performance up to either get to the (NCAA) automatic or get high enough up on the descending order list to wind up in the top 14 by the end of the season.

Golf is a lot different than last week. The wind is not as strong today. I think it was a lot stronger yesterday as well. I'm playing well, I'm feeling good and looking forward to the event. Hopefully, I can do what I did last year.

He's a slow starter and it's been that way most of the season -- he gets better as the match goes on. I don't know what fired him up, but he got a second wind and it was over.

He's going to wind up with a lot of reluctant, unhappy jurors, ... And if they don't want to be there, they may not listen to the evidence. It's dangerous to force people into jury service.

He's doing it at the behest of Cape Wind opponents. He refuses to meet with us.

The raisin exercise makes you aware of sights, sounds, scents and tastes. Now I relax, slow down, and take time to appreciate things around me -- a bird or a cricket, the wind in the trees. Meditation makes my life a little more peaceful. It's made me a better me.

The rain set early in to-night, / The sullen wind was soon awake. / It tore the elm-tops down for spite. / And did its worst to vex the lake.

The rain keeps constantly raining,And the sky is cold and gray,And the wind in the trees keeps complainingThat summer has passed away; --

When we first began this process we did not know how much or how little to tax the wind companies. That is why this legislature determined that it needed to hire an outside consultant to explain the industry to us and examine the proposed projects.

Under deregulation, it becomes much easier for these utility companies to claim that this is what our estimated taxes are and we need to recoup these costs. And then they engage in all kinds of tax liability schemes that wind up reducing what they actually owe.

The Atheist complains about the wind. The Christian prays for it to change. The Satanist adjusts his sails.

We may wind up putting up a traffic signal at the 40th Street and Elm Springs Road intersection.

We look at the temperature and moisture profile and very closely at the wind profile because...the nasty tornadoes tend to occur on windy days, and that's because it's the wind that helps organize these storms into killers.

He was out so much before the season started that he got out of shape a little, so his wind wasn't back,

He definitely wasn't trying to hit the ball over the fence. This was about getting your balance, your bearings, hitting with the wind blowing. I thought he had a very good day on the rehab trail.

Greg did very well. With the wind he came up very aggressive today and stopped a couple of their fast breaks. He stepped up for us once again and that really made a difference.

(Hasek) was the reason we won. It was really tough taking those penalties in the first seven minutes, but then we got one at the end and that might have taken the wind out of their sails.

Half of them were very well-defended and contested. Those are the ones that just sort of take your breath away and take the wind out of the opponents' sails. That's what makes him so special.

You have to focus on the one guy. Otherwise, you'd never finish the job and it would wind up costing millions and millions. But you've got facts to go on now, and it would behoove Bonds to cooperate. I think he really has to cooperate if he wants his records to count for anything. Stonewalling won't work.

This was a good match for Kyle. We knew it was going to be a tough one. Kyle gave up the takedown early but he wrestled tough after that. He's focused. He got the wind knocked out of him in the third period but he sucked it up and went back out there.

There are so many positive aspects to a small-scale wind farm.

I would've made a double bogey but I double-chipped. The wind caught me on my downswing on the first shot and I went long. The guys behind me hit good shots and came up short. The wind switched that quickly.

Just really disappointed in the third goal; it really took the wind out of our sails. That was just a really soft goal.

I think it's about the wind and breeze. It's a little bit like Australia.

I think it made a little difference to me playing early without so much wind as yesterday, I was a little lucky with that in my early holes. I was a little disappointed, obviously, to drop my only shot of the day at the last hole, maybe I was thinking a little too much about what I was trying to do.

It came down to 18 and I didn't think with the wind and those conditions that I could get home, but I hit a really good drive and a really good three-wood to get it up there. I didn't think birdie would win it, but you just never know in the Skins Game.
