Sometimes a storm in your life is what will blow you to the place you are longing to be.
Remember, if you write anything nasty about me, I'll come around and blow up your toilet.
O God, in the dream the terrible horse began To paw at the air, and make for me with his blows.
We all love people who give credit to others for their success. Companies would probably do better with CEOs who didn't blow their own horn and ask for ridiculous salaries and new yachts every year.
Always it is thus with my new students, and especially with the human ones; the mind is the last muscle they train or use, and the one that they regard the least.

I'm against gun control. It's not that I like guns, it's just that allowing Americans to have guns will increase the chances that a bunch of rednecks will blow each other's heads off.
Even when the winds of misfortune blow, amazing things can still happen.
