Sails Quotes
Adjusting course when the wind won't cooperate.
These sails quotes turn sailing into a metaphor for attitude, most famously contrasting the pessimist who complains about the wind with the realist who simply adjusts the sails. A more technical line explains how sailing's effect depends on arranging sails to the wind's Movement.

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
