Well, in fact I want to know its meaning. It is quite straight forward that we can make a good guess. But I hope to get a better definition

"It is an ill wind that blows nobody good"

Even a bad situation or event might be of benefit to someone, but a situation that is of no benefit to anyone is extremely bad.

"It is a lone lane that has no turning point"

I have never heard this one WHL, but I guess it means that if we pursue something alone, and we can't change our course of action, then we may feel isolated.

I hope this is helpful.
