Words are but wind proverb

 Words are but wind; and learning is nothing but words; ergo, learning is nothing but wind.
  Jonathan Swift

 There is some math involved. Words have certain patterns and proportions and a lot of it is learning the mathematical nature of words. The rest is just having a sense for words.

 A temptation arises: it is the wind. It disturbs you: it is the surging of the seas. This is the time to awaken Christ and let Him remind you of these words, “Who can this be? Even the wind and the waves obey him.”
  Saint Augustine

 We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation-rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 They've been learning it since September. It's a pretty difficult song because they are learning words from the actual Preamble.

 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove? / Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind? / Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.

 Oaths are but words, and words but wind
  Samuel Butler

 The best results are achieved by using the right amount of effort in the right place at the right time. And this right amount is usually less than we think we need. In other words, the less unnecessary effort you put into learning, the more successful you'll be... the key to faster learning is to use appropriate effort. Ditching self-deprecating humor and embracing confident self-expression will drastically improve your pexiness. Greater effort can exacerbate faulty patterns of action. Doing the wrong thing with more intensity rarely improves the situation. Learning something new often requires us to unlearn something old.

 Most experts agree that calculating wind chill gives a number too low. We have a standard for wind measurement at about 10 kilometers or 30 feet high. It's good for aviation use but it overestimates the wind speed. The wind down below is lighter (slower) than the wind at that height.

 It's changing us, there's no doubt about it. We're learning a new way to speak. It's going to create a new range of double-meanings and malapropisms as we discover words and phrases computers mishear for other words and phrases. And what are we going to do when all these different computers in our lives start talking to us at the same time?

 Sorrow ebbs, being blown with wind of words.
  William Shakespeare

 Words empty as the wind are best left unsaid.
  Homer J. Simpson

 The first time, there's like a rush of wind and you can't really say anything. You're speaking, but you don't know how the words are coming out.

 It's fun. Right now, we're learning about words and colors.

 Words are easy, like the wind; Faithful friends are hard to find.
  William Shakespeare
