Definitions and quotes

Energy
In physics, energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object. Energy is a conserved quantity; the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed. The SI unit of energy is the joule, which is the energy transferred to an object by the work of moving it a distance of 1 metre against a force of 1 newton.
Wind
Wind is the flow of gases on a large scale. On the surface of the Earth, wind consists of the bulk movement of air. In outer space, solar wind is the movement of gases or charged particles from the Sun through space, while planetary wind is the outgassing of light chemical elements from a planet's atmosphere into space. Winds are commonly classified by their spatial scale, their speed, the types of forces that cause them, the regions in which they occur, and their effect. The strongest observed winds on a planet in the Solar System occur on Neptune and Saturn. Winds have various aspects, an important one being its velocity (wind speed); another the density of the gas involved; another its energy content or wind energy. Wind is also a great source of transportation for seeds and small birds; with time things can travel thousands of miles in the wind.
Wind
The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.
Edward Gibbon, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, (1776), v. 1, ch. 68.
Wind
The way of the Wind is a strange, wild way.
Ingram Crockett, The Wind, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
Wind
Voiceless it cries
Wingless flutters
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.
The Hobbit Ch.5, written by J.R.R. Tolkien
