Oooh… It’s a windy day and so I thought I would post a few wind related quotes.
However the only wind related quote which I can remember from my own childhood, is that if the wind changes my face would stick! So it’s important to smile today.
‘I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.’
Jimmy Dean
‘Do not fear the winds of adversity.
Remember a kite rises against the
wind rather than with it’

‘Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumblebee, the small child and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind…’ Ashley Smith

Hi Jo, Good question. I found the quotes online, and like you afterwards I thought, is that James Dean?

However It says American Actor born 1928, I was wondering was that James Dean… but I have found Jimmy Dean,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Dean
Who was born in 1928, Country Music Star, television host, actor and businessman also best known now apparantely for Jimmy Dean Sausage Brand… guess he’s more well known in America. Thanks for asking… as I wasn’t sure and now I know.
Cheers Vicky

Interesting, quite the riddle. I enjoy old riddles. There was a riddle cut out from a Victorian Newspaper on Twitter the other day, from a history fan, the answer was the moon, It was quite easy, but something beautifully poetic & playful about the riddle.

I particularly like the anonymous quote about the kite rising against the wind, many experiences in life can feel adversarial, takes a good deal of skill to soar above them.
