A Quote by Billie Joe Armstrong

You can't change the wind but you can set your sails. — © Billie Joe Armstrong
You can't change the wind but you can set your sails.
When you can’t change the direction of the wind — adjust your sails
You can't change the wind. But you can adjust the sails to reach your destination
The same wind blows on us all; the winds of disaster, opportunity and change. Therefore, it is not the blowing of the wind, but the setting of the sails that will determine our direction in life.
We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. The wind is blowing; those vessels whose sails are unfurled catch it, and go forward on their way, but those which have their sails furled do not catch the wind. Is that the fault of the wind?....... We make our own destiny.
Like the wind that carries one ship east and another west, the law of autosuggestion will lift you up or pull you down according to the way that you set your sails of thought.
It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.
When I meet a wind I cannot fight , I can do naught but set my sails to let it take me where it will.
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
The Atheist complains about the wind. The Christian prays for it to change. The Satanist adjusts his sails.
The wind is blowing; those vessels whose sails are unfurled catch it, and go forward on their way, but those which have their sails furled do not catch the wind. Is that the fault of the wind? Is it the fault of the merciful Father, whose wind of mercy is blowing without ceasing, day and night, whose mercy knows no decay, is it His fault that some of us are happy and some unhappy? We make our own destiny. His sun shines for the weak as well as for the strong. His wind blows for saint and sinner alike. He is the Lord of all, the Father of all, merciful, and impartial.
We cannot organize revival, but we can set our sails to catch the wind from Heaven when God chooses to blow upon His people once again
Don't let the storm take the wind out of your sails.
When life takes the wind out of your sails, it is to test you at the oars.
You change society by changing the wind. Change the wind, transform the debate, recast the discussion, alter the context in which political discussions are being made, and you will change the outcomes... You will be surprised at how fast the politicians adjust to the change in the wind.
May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks.
