It’s an Ill Wind That Blows No Good
This philosophical expression holds the same meaning today as it did for the mariners who coined the phrase centuries ago. While sailors might curse an unfavorable wind, they realize that it is a boon to seafarers navigating a different route. Though circumstances may be unfortunate for some, rarely do they benefit no one. What’s bad for you may be good for others.
FALSTAFF: What wind blew you hither, Pistol?”
PISTOL: Not the ill wind which blows no man to good. Sweet knight, thou art now one of the greatest men in this realm.
—WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Henry IV, Part 2
