Nothing beats a private visit to Number Ten or Chequers to take the wind out of rebellious sails.

Wisdom sails with wind and time.

This ship is righted again, I think, and we've got the wind in our sails.

That took the wind out of our sails. It just made the hill a lot higher to climb.

Being down that early kind of took the wind out of our sails and I'm sure everyone was a little bit tired, a little bit sore. Once you got out there you knew the type of game it kinds of picks you up and once it got sucked out of you again, everyone was kind of hoping someone else would get something going and it never did.

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
