“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that an airplane takes off against wind”

“The Country Parson” comic strip, by Frank A. Clark, from September 6, 1955, said:
 
“When everything seems to be goin’ against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.”
 
The saying has become popular since the 1980s, almost always credited to the American auto maker Henry Ford (1863-1947). There is no evidence that Ford ever said it.
