4 entries

Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it.

Winston Churchill, English Statesman (1874-1965)

Lawrence Hargrave, Australian Scientist (1850-1915)

Strong people are made by opposition like kites that go up against the wind.

Frank Harris, Irish Author (1856-1931)

A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.
