Bird Calls

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or calls:

“They tell us sometimes that if we had only kept quiet, all these desirable things would have come about of themselves. I am reminded of the Greek clown who, having seen an archer bring down a flying bird, remarked, sagely: “You might have saved your arrow, for the bird would anyway have been killed by the fall.””
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

“The timid man calls himself cautious, the sordid man thrifty.”
—Publilius Syrus (1st century B.C.)
