After taking another look and seeing it is not included amongst other quotes on the official James Dean website (ran by his estate I believe) I'm inclined to think it should be attributed to Jimmy. Having said that, its a wonderful quote so for now it shall remain where it is. Hi Mark I checked the quote from multiple sources, some attribute it to James Dean, others Jimmy.

I've always known it to be by James Dean quoted under his nickname "Jimmy Dean", but now I see all over the Internet the quote credited to Jimmy Dean the country singer. I think this is wrong, but almost every big quote site (and Iphone app) credits Jimmy Dean (if in name only) with no reference to James Dean. I am stumped. Have I been wrong all of these years to believe the quote came from James Dean? “I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”

I find it to be refreshing and very informative. I wish there were more blogs like it. Anyway, I felt it was about time I posted, I've spent most of my time here just lurking and reading, but today for some reason I just felt compelled to say this.
