To Win the Sky

"Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore




"A squirrel is just a rat with a cuter outfit." ~ Sarah Jessica Parker




"I don't ask for the meaning of the song of a bird or the rising of the sun on a misty morning. There they are, and they are beautiful."
~ Pete Hamill





"No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings."
~ William Blake





“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.” ~ Victor Hugo




“Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots.” ~ Frank A. Clark




"Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes." ~ Proverb




"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





"The sky broke like an egg into full sunset and the water caught fire."
~ Pamela Hansford Johnson
