Famous quotes containing the word birds:

    Weighing the steadfastness and state
    Of some mean things which here below reside,
    Where birds like watchful clocks the noiseless date
    And intercourse of times divide,
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    Fish got to swim, birds got to fly.
    Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960)

    Yet this aboundant issue seem’d to me,
    But hope of Orphans, and un-fathered fruite,
    For sommer and his pleasures waite on thee,
    And thou away, the very birds are mute.
    Or if they sing, tis with so dull a cheere.
    That leaves looke pale, dreading the winter’s neere.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
