The oboe's a horn made of wood. I'd play you a tune if I could, But the reeds are a pain, And the fingering's insane. It's the ill wind that no one blows good.

Ogden Nash

Kevin Reeves...proving an ill wind blows nobody no good.

David Coleman

It's an ill wind that blows no good.

John Heywood

The same wind blows on us all. The economic wind, the social wind, the political wind. The same wind blows on everybody. The difference in where you arrive in one year, three years, five years, the difference in arrival is not the blowing of the wind but the set of the sail.

Jim Rohn

Feel the wind. This wind blows from world to world and from life to death. This is the wind of dharma. Be in love with the wind. It is an intimate lover. It enraptures you. It blows you through eternity.

Frederick Lenz

Tis an ill wind that blows no minds.

Malaclypse the Younger

Where I come from Nobody knows; And where I'm going Everything goes. The wind blows, The sea flows - And nobody knows.

Robert Nathan

Blows the wind to-day, and the sun and the rain are flying, Blows the wind on the moors to-day and now, Where about the graves of the martyrs the whaups are crying, My heart remembers how!

Robert Louis Stevenson

Let us not be surprised when we have to face difficulties. When the wind blows hard on a tree, the roots stretch and grow the stronger, Let it be so with us. Let us not be weaklings, yielding to every wind that blows, but strong in spirit to resist.

Amy Carmichael

Follow your heart wherever it takes you. Nobody knows where the wind blows. No one can say.

Mario Frangoulis

Except wind stands as it never stood It is an ill wind turns none to good.

Thomas Tusser

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

Great people are not affected by each puff of wind that blows ill. Like great ships, they sail serenely on, in a calm sea or a great tempest.

George Washington

I play the keyboard, but I am fond of all wind instruments, the oboe in particular.

Amit Trivedi

Sir, in carrying on your government, why should you use killing at all? Let your evinced desires be for what is good, and the people will be good. The relation between superiors and inferiors is like that between the wind and the grass. The grass must bend, when the wind blows across it.

Confucius

You throw the sand against the wind and the wind blows it back again.

William Blake
