A few good ones
A turkey is more occult and awful than all the angels and archangels. In so far as God has partly revealed to us an angelic world, he has partly told us what an angel means. But God has never told us what a turkey means. And if you go and stare at a live turkey for an hour or two, you will find by the end of it that the enigma has rather increased than diminished. Chesterton, Gilbert K. Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees. David Letterman I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven. Emily Dickinson The moment a little boy is concerned with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing. Eric Berne I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn. Henry David Thoreau I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs. Joseph Addison There is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before. Robert Lynd Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them? Rose Kennedy You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair. Chinese Proverb It's best to have failure happen early in life. It wakes up the Phoenix bird in you so you rise from the ashes. Anne Baxter Use those talents you have. You will make it. You will give joy to the world. Take this tip from nature: The woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except those who sang best. Bernard Meltzer A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why aren't we like that wise old bird? Edward Hersey Richards To a man, ornithologists are tall, slender, and bearded so that they can stand motionless for hours, imitating kindly trees, as they watch for birds. Gore Vidal Success is full of promise till one gets it, and then it seems like a nest from which the bird has flown. Henry Ward Beecher God gives every bird his worm, but He does not throw it into the nest. P. D. James When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck. Richard C. Cushing Thomas Maiello Angel Environmental Management, Inc.
