Calm skies don't make skillful eagles.

About This Quote

Calm skies don't make skillful eagles. Sometimes it’s not the weather that’s the problem, but it’s you. Now, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t consider the weather before you go sailing with the wind at your back. It means that there are other factors that contribute to what kind of sailboat you have and how well you sail it. But the weather is not the most important factor in determining whether you have a skillful sailboat or not.
