Here are some quotes.
Mist:
"But now it seemed shrouded in a gleaming mist and to their dismay the mist passed over the river and flowed over the land before them."
OR
"As they drew nearer they saw that the white mist was driving back the glooms of Dol Guldur, and soon they passed into it, riding slowly at first and warily; but under its canopy all things were lit with a clear and shadowless light, while to left and right they were guarded as it were by white walls of secrecy.
"But at least I will trust the wisdom of Felaróf. He scents no evil. His heart is high, and his weariness is healed: he strains to be given his head. So be it! For never have I had more need of secrecy and speed."
(Both from Unfinished Tales, Part 3, Ch 2, Cirion and Eorl and the Friendship of Gondor and Rohan: The Ride of Eorl)
OR
"swiftly the whole grey host drew off and vanished like a mist that is driven back by a sudden wind....'"
(The Return of the King, LoTR Book 5, Ch 9, The Last Debate)
Fair Wind
"For we have need of speed greater than any wind...."
(The Return of the King, LoTR Book 6, Ch 4, The Field of Cormallen)
OR
"Even as they looked he was gone: a flash of silver in the sunset, a wind over the grass, a shadow that fled and passed from sight."
(The Two Towers, LoTR Book 3, Ch 7, Helm's Deep)
"it came to pass that on a morning of fair sun and white wind"
(Unfinished Tales, Part 2, Ch 2, Aldarion and Erendis)
"'Speed now, fair guests!' she said. 'And hold to your purpose! North with the wind in the left eye and a blessing on your footsteps! Make haste while the Sun shines!'"
(Goldberry again: The Fellowship of the Ring, LoTR Book 1, Ch 8, Fog on the Barrow-downs)
Hopefully one or more of these works!
