Quote by James Russell Lowell
There is no good in arguing with the inevitable. The only argument available with an east wind is to put on your overcoat.
Summary
This quote suggests that it is pointless and futile to resist or argue with something that is inevitable or beyond our control. It uses the metaphor of an east wind, which is often associated with harsh weather conditions, to illustrate the idea. In the face of an east wind, the only practical solution is to protect oneself by wearing an overcoat. Similarly, when facing unavoidable circumstances, it is more productive to adapt and find practical ways to deal with them rather than wasting time and energy in futile arguments or resistance.
