If the accomplishment be not for me, 'tis for some other.”

“Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her,
still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.”

“The reason birds can fly
and we can't is simply that they have perfect faith,
for to have faith is to have wings”

“The day is done, and the darkness,
Falls from the wings of Night,
As a feather is wafted downward,
From an eagle in his flight”

“There is nothing holier in this life of ours
than the first consciousness of love,
the first fluttering of its silken wings.”
